Gavin King ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *commented* on HHH-16859 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16859?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYjBmYj... ) Re: max() doesn't work with Enums ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16859?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYjBmYj... ) So my response to this one is going to be very similar to my response on https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16858. I don’t see how it makes sense to write max(enum) and it seems to me that Hibernate quite rightly rejects this. (And I’m happy to see that the error is a good and reasonable one here.) I don’t think we should do anything to “fix” this. Instead we can just close this issue.
