ability to use dialect-registered functions in formula mappings --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2046 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2046 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Improvement Components: core Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assigned to: Steve Ebersole Consider org.hibernate.test.compositeelement.CompositeElementTest. Currently, those tests fail on Sybase/SQLServer because neither of those databases support a length function and the mappings map a property formula using the length function. Both dialects do however, map the length() to len() which is valid on both. Perhaps a syntax like: <property name="bioLength" formula="fn:length(bio)"/> or <property name="bioLength" formula="fn:{length(bio)}"/> Eventually maybe even: <property name="bioLength" formula="{length(bio)}"/> where anything inside the {} would be treated as HQL fragment. That, of course, relies on the redesign of the translator (if it is even doable then). -- 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
