ORA-00911: invalid character when field begins with underscore
--------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HHH-2022
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2022
     Project: Hibernate3
        Type: Bug

  Components: core  
    Versions: 3.0.5, 3.1.3, 3.2.0.cr3    
 Environment: Hibernate 3.1.3
Oracle 10.2.0.1
    Reporter: Jerry Cattell
    Priority: Minor
 Attachments: InvalidCharacterErrorCase.java, SimpleObject.hbm.xml, SimpleObject.java

Hibernate is generating invalid SQL (for Oracle) for collections that are stored in fields with names that start with underscores.

In this SQL:
Hibernate: select _tags0_.SIMPLE_OBJECT_ID as SIMPLE1_0_, _tags0_.TAG as TAG0_ from SIMPLE_OBJECT_TAG _tags0_ where _tags0_.SIMPLE_OBJECT_ID=?

an alias called "_tags0_" is created for the collection table.  Unfortunately, Oracle does not allow non-alphabetic characters for the first character in an alias.

Here's the stacktrace:
Hibernate: select _tags0_.SIMPLE_OBJECT_ID as SIMPLE1_0_, _tags0_.TAG as TAG0_ from SIMPLE_OBJECT_TAG _tags0_ where _tags0_.SIMPLE_OBJECT_ID=?

I have attached a test case that causes this error.

After a little bit of research, it appears that a change to StringHelper.generateAlias(String description, int unique) (or StringHelper.generateAliasRoot(String description)) to remove all characters up to the first alphabetic character would solve this problem.
