Andrey Lebedev ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *updated* an issue Hibernate ORM ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMjJhN2E0OTdh... ) / Bug ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16009?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMjJhN2... ) HHH-16009 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16009?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMjJhN2... ) jakarta @OrderBy annotation generates a non-transformed column name in the native query for a composite key's field ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16009?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMjJhN2... ) Change By: Andrey Lebedev ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) Please, refer to this Repository that contains a project that reproduces the problem: [https://github.com/Andremoniy/hibernate-6-order-by-issue|https://github.c...] The error is: {noformat}o.h.engine.jdbc.spi.SqlExceptionHelper   : SQL Error: 42122, SQLState: 42S22 o.h.engine.jdbc.spi.SqlExceptionHelper   : Column "D1_0.DEPARTMENTCODE" not found; SQL statement: select c1_0.id,d1_0.company_id,d1_0.department_code,d1_0.name,c1_0.name from company c1_0 left join departme department d1_0 on c1_0.id=d1_0.company_id where c1_0.name=? order by d1_0.departmentCode desc [42122-214] {noformat} Basically, under certain conditions the column name provided in the {{OrderBy}} annotation is not transformed to the physical name of the column in the database. This is a combination of the three different conditions: # The field used in the {{OrderBy}} should be a part of a composite key on the mapped entity. In our case this is {{DepartmentId}} composite key: {noformat}public class DepartmentId implements Serializable { private Company company; private String departmentCode; }{noformat} # The field used in the {{OrderBy}} entity should contain more than a word in its name (if we rename {{departmentCode}} into {{code}}, the issue goes away). # There should be an HQL query that uses {{LEFT JOIN FETCH}} on the problematic entity. {noformat}@Query(""" SELECT c FROM Company c LEFT JOIN FETCH c.departments WHERE c.name = :name """ ) Optional<Company> findCompanyByName(@Param("name") String name);{noformat} ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16009#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Add Comment ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16009#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Get Jira notifications on your phone!
