Hi all,

i'm using hibernate 3.2.1 together with an oracle db. I'm always catching ConstraintViolationException and throw a user readable custom exception where i display the constraint name of the constraint which was violated (by using the getConstraintName() method). This works perfectly with my oracle 10.2.0.2.0 data base.
Now i had to switch to oracle 10.2.0.4.0 and the getConstraintName() method always returns null.
I already tried the following:
- new OJDBC drivers (tried 10.2.0.4, 10.2.0.3, 10.2.0.2)
- new hibernate version 3.3.1
- the structure and data of the new db is identical to the old one

Is this a known problem? Should i report a bug?

Thank in advance,
Christian

Same problem occurs with Oracle 11.

Any suggestions?

Obviously these Oracle versions now throw language specific errors e.g. on violating database constraints Hibernate however tries to parse these errors in English language to retrieve constraint names, which fails. So the solution was to set up the language of the JDBC connection:

-Duser.language=en
-Duser.country=US
