Hi all,

can I add a 'fake' primary key for a field that belongs to a view?
My view has a column that could be used as primary key but
when i tell hbm2java something like this in the reveng.xml:



hibernate tool says:


Or maybe someone has a better idea? The reason I want to define the
primary key is to avoid having the view rows generated as @Embeddable
MY_VIEW_XY_Id classes. Can I tell hbm2java that it's only a view that
I don't want to update anyway?

I found a solution: with Oracle you can specify a primary key for
views:



When I define my View that way, the primary key is detected and everything
works as expected. Of course it's also safer that way.

The base question remains for databases without this feature.
-> can I make Hibernate 'assume' that XY_PK is a primary key even
when that constraint is not present in the database?
