What is the difference between @Entity and @Document in spring boot?

Question

Can you use both annotations on your database tables?

id, just like some clarification on there differences. thank you

Answer 1

@Entity is used to map a class to a relational database, it represents a database table.

@Document is used to map a class to noSQL database (specifically mongoDB), it represents a MongoDB documents.

You can use both JPA or MongoRepository if you are using both databases by creating different entities and repositories for each database.

I recommend you to have a look at spring documentation (https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/)
