I did a little more research on the pbm I have : To be a little more specific I am wondering how to disable the Oracle dialect related paging behavior ? When using the EntityManager to execute a native query it seems that Hibernate thinks that a paging type query is to be executed... Is there maybe a property I need to set in the persistence.xml to disable the paging behavior for native query?
