[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2077) Providing an escape sequence for Criteria queries

[Mark A. Ziesemer (JIRA)]

Mark A. Ziesemer commented on HHH-2077:
---------------------------------------

Max - thanks for confirming that subclassing is the intended usecase for these classes.

However, I'd still be curious as to the reasoning behind the protected constructors, just as Kevin previously asked without receiving an answer.  While creating the subclass works, it seems a bit inconvenient to have to create a subclass just to access code that already exists.  Is there a reason as to why the protected constructors aren't / can't be public?

Thanks!

>             Project: Hibernate3
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: query-criteria
>    Affects Versions: 3.1.3, 3.2.0 cr1, 3.2.0.cr2, 3.2.0.cr3, 3.2.0.cr4
>         Environment: Hibernate 3.1.3, MySQL, HSQLDB, Oracle
>            Reporter: Tobias Dietl
>   Original Estimate: 3 hours
>  Remaining Estimate: 3 hours
>
> Up to now, there is no way of setting the escape sequence to use for string comparisions with like for Criteria queries. 
> This is necessary as MySQL on the one hand and HSQLDB / Oracle on the other behave differently...
> If you want to search for '_abc' in MySQL, you have to use:
>     value like '\\_abc'
> In Oracle or HsqlDB, you have to use:
>    value like '\_abc'
> If you want to switch to another escape sequence like '|' , you can set it in HQL with value like '|_abc' escape '|'. Unfortunately, there is no way of setting it for Criteria queries, which would force me to rewrite all my Criteria queries in HQL. It would really be nice if the feature/improvement would be added...
