Hi,

I'm updating some old code from Hibernate 3 to 5.2. It appears that the column name in the table `hibernate_sequences` changed from `sequence_next_hi_value` to `next_val`. Is there a place I can control which column Hibernate looks for, with a global configuration setting?

Some details ... when inserting entities that use table ID generation, I get SQL errors with messages like: Unknown column 'tbl.next_val' in 'field list'

I see in the 5.2 User Guide, section 2.6.10 that the column in `hiberate_sequences` is called `next_val`, but in our DB it is `sequence_next_hi_value`.

The entity's ID property in Java looks like this:



thanks,

The identifier generators have changed a lot. You might want to switch back to the old identifier generators as explained in this article.



Also, you can control the table name and columns via the @TableGenerator annotation.

But then you should not use TABLE generator at all because it's bad for performance.

Okay, thanks. I'm going to try that now.



I assume that's in a hibernate.cfg.xml file, but my IDE seems to only allow the value to be nested in the element, so just wanted to double check.

Yes.That's how you should do it in hibernate.cfg.xml. I have you the persistence.xml way of doing it.
