Limit and 'For Update' do not work on Oracle -------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2844 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2844 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: query-sql Affects Versions: 3.2.2 Reporter: Michael Kopp Limits on oracle lead too: select * from (select x.y as xy_1 from table x) where rownum <= 5 when doing a for update that leads too select * from (select x.y as xy_1 from table x) where rownum <= 5 for update of x.y The problem is that the x.y is invalid and not found within the temporary view and leads to an oracle error. what would be valid is the name of the view column xy_1, meaning select * from (select x.y as xy_1 from table x) where rownum <= 5 for update of xy_1 Actually this should be valid in all cases when doing a alias for update lock. My Solution thus was to override the following in my own Oracle Dialect public String applyLocksToSql(final String sql, final Map aliasedLockModes, final Map keyColumnNames) { final String s = new ForUpdateFragment(this, aliasedLockModes, keyColumnNames) { @Override public ForUpdateFragment addTableAlias(final String alias) { // search for alias in sql final int i = sql.indexOf(alias); // check if the found string is followed by an ' as ' and thus has a column alias if (i != -1 && sql.length() > (i + alias.length() + 4) && sql.substring(i + alias.length(), i + alias.length() + 4).equals( " as ")) { // use the column alias return super.addTableAlias(sql.substring(i + alias.length() + 4, sql.indexOf(',',i + alias.length() + 4))); } return super.addTableAlias(alias); } }.toFragmentString(); return sql + s; -- 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
