Hibernate version:
v.3.0

Name and version of the database you are using:
Postgres 8.0, latest JDBC Driver


I try to execute the following statement:
select * from Kontakt where userid='grüber';
(Notice the German Umlaut "ü" in the statement, it is the problem)

The following exception is thrown:
13:33:45,609 DEBUG QueryTranslatorImpl:206 - parse() - HQL: from at.administration.hibernate.mappedClasses.Kontakt where userid='grüber')
13:33:45,625 ERROR PersonDisplayAction:84 - Hibernate Exception:
org.hibernate.QueryException: expecting ''', found 'ü' [from at.administration.hibernate.mappedClasses.Kontakt where userid='grüber')]

at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.list(SessionImpl.java:773)
at org.hibernate.impl.QueryImpl.list(QueryImpl.java:74)
[....]

The root cause seems to be expecting ''', found 'ü'. Is there an option I missed so that hibernate can deal with German Umlaute in the statements? When I directly execute the statement in the postgres database, it works.

Thanks in advance!

Actually, updating to the latest hibernate version 3.1 beta2 helped. I read the changelog and saw:

[HHH-734] - HQL incorrectly parses certain query strings

I assume that relates to my problem.

Anyway, thanks!
