I am attaching a possible patch to org.hibernate.util.StringHelper that solves the problem.

> 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.

> 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.
