Sergiu Hlihor ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *updated* an issue Hibernate ORM ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNTM1NmNjYjg0... ) / Bug ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-14147?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNTM1Nm... ) HHH-14147 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-14147?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNTM1Nm... ) Entities containing field "rank" cannot be updated ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-14147?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNTM1Nm... ) Change By: Sergiu Hlihor ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) I have a an entity containing a field called “rank“ . This worked perfectly fine with MySQL 5.6. Now in MySQL 8, since this is a keyword, it fails to update the field. Tested configurations were: <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect" /> <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL8Dialect" /> or no dialect whatsoever. Database is MySQL 8.0.20, Percona flavor + HikariCP Would have expected that by choosing the correct dialect, the fields are escaped automatically.
