[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-1629) SchemaUpdate doesn't work with Postgres

SchemaUpdate doesn't work with Postgres --------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1629 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1629 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Bug

Versions: 3.1.2 Environment: Hibernate 3.1.2 Postgres 8.0.4 Linux Reporter: Nicklas Nordborg Priority: Trivial Attachments: AffyFeatureData.hbm.xml, patch-HHH-1629.txt The SchemaUpdate only generates SQL with CREATE TABLE statements and can't update existing tables. With debugging turned on the SchemaUpdate reports: 11:25:22,599 INFO SchemaUpdate:114 - Running hbm2ddl schema update 11:25:22,599 INFO SchemaUpdate:126 - fetching database metadata .11:25:22,771 INFO SchemaUpdate:142 - updating schema 11:25:22,803 INFO DatabaseMetadata:91 - table not found: AffyFeatures 11:25:22,830 INFO DatabaseMetadata:91 - table not found: AnnotationSets 11:25:22,855 INFO DatabaseMetadata:91 - table not found: AnnotationTypeItems .... and so on for another 100+ tables All tables except two exists in the database. The two new tables are created successfully by SchemaUpdate. I attach one of my mapping files (generated by XDoclet). I had a quick look at the SchemaUpdate code (which calls DatabaseMetadata) and I think the problem is that it converts the table names to upper or lower case, even though I have quoted them in the mapping files. If the DatabaseMetadata.getTableMetadata could take a Table object as a parameter instead of the name, schema and catalog, it could check the Table.isQuoted() method before converting any names to upper or lower case. It seems like this method is only used by the Configuration class so it shouldn't be too hard to fix. I could do the fix myself, but I will only be able to validate it against Postgres and MySQL using quoted table names. So, others would probably have to validate it agains other databases and using unquoted table names.
