I am trying to use the minus keyword with a HQL query and hibernate seems to be putting an extra set of parenthesis around the where clause, causing oracle to scream. Here is the HQL:

select f from Firewall f where f.monitor = 't' minus (select f1 from Firewall f1, LogStatus ls where f1.firewallID = ls.firewallID and ls.entryDate >= :date and (ls.fetchSuccess = 't' or (ls.fetchSuccess = 'f' and ls.logFinished is null)))

Is the minus keyword supported and if so how can I avoid this error?

Thank you.

Hibernate version: 2.1.6

Mapping documents: not relevant

Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():
Not relevant

Name and version of the database you are using: Oracle 8i

Debug level Hibernate log excerpt: ALL

minus keyword is not supported by Hibernate.

http://www.hibernate.org/89.html
Thi minus token (MINUS: '-') is declared there, but it is not used anywhere.

In your case, query with some kind of "left outer join with check for someField is null" could help.

take a look at package net.sf.hibernate.dialect
you can patch it for your need

hi,

i'm havng the same problem here.

Is there a fix for it available?

Thanx
Nico

No. I ended up coding around it since Hibernate does not support minus at this time.

anyone got the solution for this problem
