Support for CLOB not working for DB2 when table per concrete class is being used -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJB-276 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/EJB-276 Project: Hibernate Entity Manager Type: Bug Versions: 3.2.1 Reporter: breako Hi, This came up in the forums: http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?p=2344008#2344008 Sample code: Two Pojos @Entity public class Person { private int i; @Identity public int getI() { return i; } public void setI(int i){ this.i = i; } } @Entity public class Employee extends Person{ @Basic(fetch=FetchType.LAZY) @Lob public String getClobAttr() { return clobAttr; } public void setClobAttr(String clobAttr) { this.clobAttr = clobAttr; } } Simple test: public static void main (String args[]) { Query queryImpl = em.createQuery(" from Person"); List list = queryImpl.getResultList(); } This will generate SQL select person0_.clobAttr as clobAttr1 from (select nullif(0,0) as clobAttr from TPerson union all select clobAttr from TEmployee) person0_ which chucks the exception: DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -415, SQLSTATE: 42825, SQLERRMC: null I think the SQL hibernate should generate should be: select person0_.clobAttr as clobAttr1 from (select cast(null as CLOB) as clobAttr from TPerson union all select clobAttr from TEmployee) person0_ -- 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
