[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-2077) Providing an escape sequence for Criteria queries

Providing an escape sequence for Criteria queries ------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2077 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2077 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Improvement Components: query-criteria Versions: 3.1.3, 3.2.0 cr1, 3.2.0.cr2, 3.2.0.cr3, 3.2.0.cr4 Environment: Hibernate 3.1.3, MySQL, HSQLDB, Oracle Reporter: Tobias Dietl Up to now, there is no way of setting the escape sequence to use for string comparisions with like for Criteria queries. This is necessary as MySQL on the one hand and HSQLDB / Oracle on the other behave differently... If you want to search for '_abc' in MySQL, you have to use: value like '\\_abc' In Oracle or HsqlDB, you have to use: value like '\_abc' If you want to switch to another escape sequence like '|' , you can set it in HQL with value like '|_abc' escape '|'. Unfortunately, there is no way of setting it for Criteria queries, which would force me to rewrite all my Criteria queries in HQL. It would really be nice if the feature/improvement would be added... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
