Hibernate ORM / Bug HHH-7842
Hibernate Criteria does not respect fetch mode, when alias is used
Hibernate doesn't respect fetch mode, when alias is used.

I've tested it only with Oracla 10g XE and H2 databases, but it seems to me, that it is generic issue common for all database engines.

Attached test cases. Db settings could be changed in src/main/resources/db.properties.

Probably import of Oracle driver should be done into local maven repositor...
