Hello,
Suppose, I have two hibernate mappings such as the following with different name but using same ID generator:

------------- mapping 1 ------------------------------
<id
name="id"
column="StudentsHighschool_Id"
type="int"
unsaved-value="any"
>
<generator class="hilo">
<param name="table">IDGenerator</param>
<param name="column">nextval</param>
</generator>
</id>

------------- mapping 2 ------------------------------
<id
name="id"
column="StudentsCollege_Id"
type="int"
unsaved-value="any"
>
<generator class="hilo">
<param name="table">IDGenerator</param>
<param name="column">nextval</param>
</generator>
</id>

My questions are:
1. Will Hibernate use one generator table or will it have a generator table for each object?
2. If there will be only one generator, how will Hibernate determine the initial value for both objects?

Thanks in advance,
Madhan.

1. One table since you give it one table.
2. only the high value of hilo is persisted to db, so the first object will start with eg 100(lowpart) (100001) and the second 101(lowpart) 101001[/b]
