Try clearing the entity manager after flushing to see the test case fail even on 5. We will clarify the requirements for native queries that want to materialize entities as part of https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/6194 ( https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/6194 ) ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16180#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Add Comment ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16180#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Get Jira notifications on your phone!
