org.hibernate.sql.Template prefixes all ` and " with the generated HQL alias so not all SQL strings in formulas are generated correctly when we want to use ` in column name/table names ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6719 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6719 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Environment: hibernate 3.3.2.GA and up Reporter: Krasimir Chobantonov Using the following SQL query in descriminator formula (select distinct ldt.`TYPE_NAME` from `LIST_DATA_TYPE` ldt where ldt.`LIST_DATA_TYPE_ID` = `LIST_DATA_TYPE_ID`) result it (select distinct ldt.listdata0_."TYPE_NAME" from listdata0_."SF_LIST_DATA_TYPE" ldt where ldt.listdata0_."LIST_DATA_TYPE_ID" = listdata0_."LIST_DATA_TYPE_ID") instead of (select distinct ldt."TYPE_NAME" from "SF_LIST_DATA_TYPE" ldt where "LIST_DATA_TYPE_ID" = listdata0_."LIST_DATA_TYPE_ID") The quotes are needed so that the same SQL will work on Oracle and Postgresql (where the later expects all lower case table names/ column names if not using quotes) Possible solution: in org.hibernate.sql.Template change the code on line 180 from if (isOpenQuote) { to if (isOpenQuote && !inFromClause && (previousToken == null || !previousToken.endsWith("."))) { note that the previousToken is a new variable that tracks previous tokens. Using this if clause will not place a prefix on the table because of !inFromClause and it will not add prefix on all ldt. places - e.g. when we already specified to which table the column that we refers belongs to. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
