I am testing hibernate with the DB2 Connect JDBC driver from IBM. I am trying to connect to DB2 UDB located on an iSeries (AS/400). Hibernate connects and fetches the data from the database allright, except that it logs a warning while connecting. The warning is:

08:13:25,663 WARN SettingsFactory:103 - Could not obtain connection metadata
com.ibm.db2.jcc.a.SqlException: DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -204, SQLSTATE: 42704, SQLERRMC: SYSIBM.METADATA;

I only get the error when connecting using hibernate. If I call the JDBC directly and run the same generated query I do not get this error.

I checked in the iSeries, and there is not any object in the SYSIBM library named METADATA is this a possible bug in the DB2Dialect? If anyone could shed any light on this it would be appreciated.

Hibernate version:
3.1
