[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2390) select clause alias in HQL is mapped incosistently in SQL.

select clause alias in HQL is mapped incosistently in SQL. ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2390 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2390 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: query-hql Affects Versions: 3.2.2 Environment: Win2K+JDK1.5+Eclipse3.2.1+Hibernate3.2.2, Solaris Express x86+MySQL5 Reporter: Natto Lover Assignee: Steve Ebersole Priority: Minor Attachments: HQLTest.zip Hi. I was told at the users forum to post a test case here. I give an alias to an expression in the select clause, try to refer it in the where clause. In SQL, Hibernate replaces the alias in the select clause, but leaves the original text in the where clause. This is the HQL: select (p.endDate - p.startDate) as period, p from Project as p where period > :period_length See above where the alias 'period' appears. Now, This is the resulting SQL: select project0_.end_date-project0_.start_date as col_0_0_, project0_.id as col_1_0_, project0_.id as id0_, project0_.name as name0_, project0_.start_date as start3_0_, project0_.end_date as end4_0_ from PROJECT project0_ where period>? Note above the 'period' that was in the select clause is replaced with machine generated "col_0_0_", but that is not applied for the alias in the where clause. Please find attached a test case archive. Two HQL statements are tried. One uses the alias in the where clause, the other one uses the alias in the order by clause.
