[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-1329) SchemaValidator fail when views are involved

SchemaValidator fail when views are involved -------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1329 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1329 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: metamodel Affects Versions: 3.1 Environment: database: oracle9i hibernate: 3.1 jdbc driver: ojdbc14-10.2.0.1.0 Reporter: Yariv Yaari Assignee: Diego Pires Plentz Fix For: 3.2.6 All calls in org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.DatabaseMetadata.getTableMetadata to java.sql.DatabaseMetaData.getTables set the fourth parameter (types) to {"TABLE"} (defined as a class-level constant). In the documentation of getTables it is not defined what are the meanings of the types passed as parameter, only that all the strings must be in java.sql.DatabaseMetaData.getTablesTypes return value. In oracle9i with ojdbc14-10.2.0.1.0.jar views are returned if types contains "VIEW" and not if its {"TABLE"}. It is a major problem only if hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto is set to validate, if it's set to update it will log some errors (since it can't create or alter the table, there is a view with this name) but it won't fail the deployment, and since in SQL views are treated as tables, there will be no more problems. It should be checked for more databases/jdbc drivers. It is not obvious what should be the solution. Pass {"TABLE","VIEW"} always? Pass them if they are in getTableTypes? Put it as part of the dialect, default to {"TABLE"} and change it in oreacle-dialects?
