Hi *,

I have the following situation:
There is a Person entity which has a many-to-one relation to a Country entity. When I load a Person I can see that Hibernate generates an outer join for gathering the Country info. Is it possible to tell somehow Hibernate (not-null attribute or something) that it should not generate an outer join but an inner join when retrieving the country info?

10x,

Use "inner join fetch" in the HQL.

ok. but I was wondering if Hibernate can do this by itself when making an

session.load(Person.class, PERSON_ID);

and the id_country attribute in the Person table has a NN constraint.
