HQL generates inner join when selecting a specific attribute that is linked to another entity --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2402 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2402 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Bug Components: core Versions: 3.2.2 Environment: Oracle 9i, affects ONLY version 3.2.2, was still working OK in version 3.2.1 and before. Reporter: Peter Mutsaers Priority: Critical Mapping (note the lazy='false', it is essential to cause the problem): <class name='Currency' lazy='false'> .... </class> <class name='Asset'> <id name='id' ... </id> <many-to-one name='currency' class='Currency' fetch='select'/> </class> The following HQL query: "select a.id, a.currency from Asset a" used to generate a query on the Asset table, and subsequently generates separate queries on the Currency table. Since version 3.2.2, this generates an inner join on Asset with Currency. Now many Assets may have a NULL currency, so we do not get all records anymore! This breaks logic and queries all over the place for us. We can't go back to 3.2.1 due to other bugs that had been solved in 3.2.2. The query "from Asset a" still works OK and as before, i.e. it makes the select only on the Asset table and afterwards fetches the Currency with individual selects. I fear that an optimization has been made that has this negative side effect. -- 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
