I'm working on a project that uses mysql DB, struts2 and hibernate ORM, we've come to a point where a couple of our tables are too large and need to be partitioned.

I'm fairly new to hibernate...

I couldn't find any reported problems with hibernate and partitioned tables. What I'm really interested in is can I write the same sort of hibernate queries for partitioned tables like they were for unpartitioned. Better said, do I need to make any changes to hibernate queries if I partition a table or can the query remain the same?

thanks in advance.
