Hi all,

Not sure it can be raised as bug (or) task?

Is any one used table inheritance in database with hibernate via JPA? If so, can you suggest for below use case
I have to update entity on parent table, for which I have to use 'only' keyword before table name (select, update, delete,.. but not for insert, rename...).
Is it possible to append 'only' keyword when updated via merge/update/save operation using DAO?

e.g.,
Employee emp = empolyeeDao.findOne(1);
emp.setName('Tom');
empolyeeDao.update(emp);
....

and update is defined in generic DAO as :

public T update( final T entity )

Here hibernate will generate update query without 'only' e.g., : update employee set name ='Tom', title='Mr' where id=1; but I need it to be update only employee set name ='Tom', title='Mr' where id=1;
using DAO. Is it possible?

Reference for Table inheritance: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/ddl-inherit.html

Any workaround for this usecase? (org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL81Dialect)
