[hibernate-issues] [JIRA] (HHH-16859) max() doesn't work with Enums

Michał Maliszewski ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=5ad7619... ) *commented* on HHH-16859 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16859?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNDU1Yz... ) Re: max() doesn't work with Enums ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16859?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNDU1Yz... ) Unfortunately, “I don’t see how it makes sense …” is not a valid argument in this discussion. I would like to provide some valid argumentation to consider in this topic: * In any relational database there is an option to do: SELECT max ( int ) FROM X * Hibernate is the framework which has one job, this job is the O/R Mapping. That’s what the entity code I posted does: @Column(name = "SOME_ENUM" ) @Enumerated(EnumType.ORDINAL) private ESomeEnum type; * The above proves the framework does not do what it is designed for. I would expect if the defined mapping is supported, everything that uses the O/R Mapping also should be supported. In this particular case if my int column is mapped to Enum, I should be able to work with the Enums in the code and those should also be properly mapped. * Moreover, the functionalities around the Enums are inconsistent as, the above example is not possible, while the code below is: @Query( "select s from SomeDbo s where enum = int " ) List<SomeDbo> findSomeOfTypeOne(); * This is also a regression to the previous versions where that functionality was supported. * Last, but not least, if the Hibernate Team decided to not support it anymore, this should be documented and properly described in the Migration Guide, which currently is not the case.
