[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-4891) Using certain column names which mirror SQL function names causes "ambiguous column" SQL errors

Using certain column names which mirror SQL function names causes "ambiguous column" SQL errors ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4891 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4891 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.5.0-Beta-2, 3.5.0-Beta-3, 3.5.0-Beta-4 Environment: Error verified with Oracle, MySQL and H2 database engines. Reporter: Manuel Dominguez Sarmiento Assignee: Gail Badner We have some columns names "floor" and "hash". This used to work fine until 3.5.0 Beta 2. This and later releases fail when a query involves a join with two tables and both each contain a column named either "floor" or "hash" with an "ambiguous column" error. 3.5.0 Beta 1 and previous releases work fine. Something must have changed in Beta 2 that is causing some kind of recognition of SQL function names, but I can't seem to pinpoint any issue related to this in the changelong. I'm pretty sure this would also happen with other column names such as "ceil", "abs", etc. which although they might be SQL function names they are not reserved keywords, and thus they are valid column names.
