Marco Belladelli ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=637b480... ) *commented* on HHH-16239 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16239?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMmFlMD... ) Re: Queries with LIKE-filters always return empty results with H2 database in Oracle Compatibility Mode ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16239?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMmFlMD... ) Are you using H2Dialect ? Hibernate currently does not officially support H2's Oracle compatibility mode, but I believe using org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect should be enough to fix this specific issue.
