How to tell Hibernate annotation #Column to be case-sensitive? - java

I'm trying to do a simple SELECT query in a table named ECM (in uppercase) on a Sybase db with Hibernate. I've annotated my DBO this way :
#Entity
#Table(name="ECM")
public class RelationshipDbo {
...
}
However, I'm facing a "table not found" error : the generated SQL has the table name in lowercase. I cannot change the database configuration to tell it to be case-insensitive.
I've also tried putting quotes like this :
#Table(name="`ECM`")
and this :
#Table(name="'ECM'")
Result : the quotes are added in the query, but the table name is still converted from uppercase to lowercase.
Technical information :
Hibernate 4.3
JPA 1.2
org.hibernate.dialect.SybaseDialect
Have you guys any idea?
EDIT: Also tried this Hibernate changes #Table(name) to lowercase
Then my columns names and table name are automatically quoted, but the names still get lowercased.

I think I have your answer:
Basically, you need to change the naming strategy for you JPA provider. How you do this will depend on how you setup your project.
In my case, using spring boot data I set a property in my application.properties to
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming-strategy=org.hibernate.cfg.EJB3NamingStrategy
Without more details from you I can't give more specifics on how to do this.

My goal is a little different since was trying to create tables upper case and hibernate created them in lower case. Also i was using MySQL not Sybase.
But for me quoting the names like this worked:
#Entity
#Table(name="\"ECM\"")
public class RelationshipDbo {
...
}
Then tables were created upper case. Maybe that helps also for the queries.

What is your Sybase db version ?
SybaseDialect has been deprecated in Hibernate 3.5 and then refactored since Hibernate 4.1 with a bunch of subclasses matching different versions of Sybase. Have you tried one of the subclasses to see if it makes any difference?
org.hibernate.dialect.Sybase11Dialect
org.hibernate.dialect.SybaseAnywhereDialect
org.hibernate.dialect.SybaseASE15Dialect

Try this:
Use backticks as in #Table(name="`ECM`")?
This must work from Hibernate point. If not then problem should be in DB (if i'm not wrong)

Hibernate columnDefault true needs to be mapped to sqlserver BIT default 1

I have a need to map the #org.hibernate.annotations.ColumnDefault("true") to BIT default 1 in generated SQL schema. Is there anyway other than adding a #Column(columnDefinintion="BIT default 1")
I'm using SQL Server 2008 Dialect and hibernate 5.3.26 and XPAND for code generation.
I have tried using #org.hibernate.type.BooleanType also but it did not work.
Done some debugging in hibernate core also and in org/hibernate/cfg/Ejb3Column.java:625 where it takes the #ColumnDefault annotation value and later set it as it is without mapping in org/hibernate/mapping/Table.java:561. May be I have missed something. Is there anyway to override this functionality?
Where is the SQL type and default value mapping happens in schema generation? classes methods etc.
Any help would be grateful.
Using the below combination resolved the issue.
#org.hibernate.annotations.Type(type = "org.hibernate.type.BooleanType")
#org.hibernate.annotations.ColumnDefault(value = "1")

I am using JAVA Spring Boot REST API and Hibernate/JPA issue is with table name when the name I need to access contains a dot in the name like FOO.BAR

The problem is when hibernate builds the query it ignores the dot and sets the prepared statement "from" to look like
"from foo_bar" when it needs to actually be "foo.bar" So even though it connects to the primary database fine it never finds the table. This is a DB2 schema where it is Database->table.sub-table ( not a join but a naming convention the DBA's use).
I have tried adding the dot in the #Table name prop
A snippet example is like:
#Entity
#Table(name="FOO.BAR")
public class SomeClassName {
}
I tried using the application.properties
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:db2://server:port/dbname and modifying that. Any ideas? Do I need to create my own naming convention or something?
Welcome to stackoverflow Richard.
I am fairly confident that the first value would be considered the schema name.
Perhaps trying the following would work?
#Entity
#Table(name="BAR" schema="FOO")
public class SomeClassName {
}

HIBERNATE: Auto append word into TABLE

hi I have an entity with this annotation
#Entity
#Table(name = "REPORT_WORK")
But for some reason hibernate keep saying Missing Table: REPORT_REPORT_WORK
I know that is the problem because of when I change the name to "REPORT_WORKX"
It will say Missing Table: REPORT_REPORT_WORKX
Has any encountered this issue before?
Update: when I change the name to JJJJ
It will say Missing Table: REPORT_JJJJ
so for some reason there it is auto appending REPORT_
Configuration:
hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=validate
I suspect that the problem is your Hibernate configurations. Specifically, if you don't have an appropriate setting for hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto, Hibernate won't automatically update the database schema when you change your model.
(And if you don't want the updates to happen automatically, then you need to figure out what schema changes are needed, code them as SQL DDL, and run them manually.)
Can you post your persistence.xml (or equivalent)?
It sounds like you are implementing org.hibernate.cfg.NamingStrategy, get rid of this configuration.

Unit testing Hibernate with multiple database catalogs

I have an issue testing a Hibernate application which queries multiple catalogs/schemas.
The production database is Sybase and in addition to entities mapped to the default catalog/schema there are two entities mapped as below. There are therefore three catalogs in total.
#Table(catalog = "corp_ref_db", schema = "dbo", name = "WORKFORCE_V2")
public class EmployeeRecord implements Serializable {
}
#Table(catalog = "reference", schema = "dbo", name="cntry")
public class Country implements Serializable {
}
This all works in the application without any issues. However when unit testing my usual strategy is to use HSQL with hibernate's ddl flag set to auto and have dbunit populate the tables.
This all works fine when the tables are all in the same schema.
However, since adding these additional tables, testing is broken as the DDL will not run as HSQL only supports one catalog.
create table corp_ref_db.dbo.WORKFORCE_V2
user lacks privilege or object not found: CORP_REF_DB
If there were only two catalogs then I think it would maybe be possible to get round this by changing the default catalog and schema in the HSQL database to that one explicitly defined:
Is there any other in-memory database for which this might work or is there any strategy for getting the tests to run in HSQL.
I had thought of providing an orm.xml file which specified the default catalog and schema (overiding any annotations and having all the defined tables created in the default catalog/schema) however these overrides do not seem to be observed when the DDL is executed i.e. I get the same error as above.
Essentially, then I would like to run my existing tests and either somehow have the tables created as they are defined in the mappings or somehow override the catalog/schema definitions at the entity level.
I cannot think of any way to achieve either outcome. Any ideas?
I believe H2 supports catalogs. I haven't used them in it myself, but there's a CATALOGS table in the Information Schema.
I managed to achieve something like this in H2 via IGNORE_CATALOGS property and version 1.4.200
However, the url example from their docs did not seem to work for me, so I added a statement in my schema.xml:
SET IGNORE_CATALOGS = true;

Generated queries contain schema and catalog name

I've the same problem as described here
In the generated SQL Informix expects catalog:schema.table but what's actually generated is
catalog.schema.table
which leads to a syntax error.
Setting:
hibernate.default_catalog=
hibernate.default_schema=
had no effect.
I even removed schema and catalog from the table annotation, this caused a different issues : the query looked like that ..table same for setting catalog and schema to an empty string.
Versions
seam 2.1.2
Hibernate Annotations 3.3.1.GA.CP01
Hibernate 3.2.4.sp1.cp08
Hibernate EntityManager 3.3.2.GAhibernate
Jboss 4.3 (similar to 4.2.3)
Note that there is a new (as of 2010-04-26) web page, http://www.iiug.org/opensource, that has information about using Informix software with various open source packages, including Hibernate. In particular, there is downloadable code that improves the interaction of Hibernate and Informix.
I ended up with the one of the worst hacks I evever did:
The colon is the offending char wich should be '.' catalog:schema.table.
Informix allows comments in SQL statements select {comment} * from sometable
So I set
hibernate.default_catalog={
hibernate.default_schema=}schemaname
the resulting code looks like
select * from {.}schemaname.tablename
which is accepted by informix query parser.
Delete the schema and catalog attributes from *.hbm.xml.
