Hi Gul
A lot depends on use case also. it is not always required/useful to
traverse mappings in both directions. Like in your case if you are
sure that you do not want to traverse the relationship from phone ->
person then you can just treat FK of person in phone as a normal
field. first flush the person entity and then flush the phone numbers.
Probably that would save you one query.
Thanks
