Table using back-tick not passing validation on Oracle ------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-1951 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1951 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.1.3 Environment: Client: Hibernate 3.1.3, Java 1.5.0_06, Mac OS X 10.4.7 Database server: Windows XP SP2, Oracle XE Reporter: Matt Solnit I have a table mapping that looks similar to the following: <class name="User" table="`User`"> <!-- etc. --> Notice the back-ticks around the table name. When I use Hibernate to create the schema for me, it correctly generates a table name called "User" (including the quote marks). But when I validate the schema, it cannot find the table and so validation fails. I am thinking the problem is somewhere in org/hibernate/tool/hbm2ddl/DatabaseMetadata.getTableMetadata(). It tries to look for "USER", because OracleDatabaseMetaData.storesUpperCaseIdentifiers() returns true. But the code doesn't realize that quoted tables are a special case and it has to look for "User" instead. Another symptom of the same problem is that if I generate a schema update script, it will attempt to re-create the existing table.
