Hi everybody,

I have problem with Hibernate Tools. I try with version 3.2.0 in Eclipse.

I'm trying to reverse my PostgreSQL database (version 8.2). The problem is in generating "generator" tag in mapping xml file. Hibernate Tools generating always:

All id columns in my tables are 'serial' data type. That means each one use sequence. How can I configure Hibernate Tools to generate "sequence" type in "generator" tag? Can Hibernate find also the name of the sequnce and put as param to this tag?

Best regards,

Kuba Królikowski

see docs about how to configure primarykey in reveng.xml

or more generally in the reverse engineering strategies.

i do not think sequence is associated with serial, if there is then contributions are welcome ;)

But how to configure reverse engering strategies to retrieve sequence name from database for given column of serial type?

Serial is always associated with sequence:

But hibernate does not need to use the sequence name since postgresql automatically assigns it.

If you still want that then implement the logic (which is postgresql specific) in ReverseEngineeringStrategy methods such as:

public String getTableIdentifierStrategyName(TableIdentifier identifier);
public Properties getTableIdentifierProperties(TableIdentifier identifier);
