Hibernate does not support database name containing a dash (e.g. my-db) sign when using MySQL

The issue is can be reproduced with MySQL database (I’ve tested PostgreSQL, H2 - looks like working fine). Sample jdbc url I am using: jdbc:mysql://localhost:32793/my-db with Hikari datasource. Preexisting table:

create table `my-db`.test (id_key VARCHAR(80) not null, primary key (id_key)) engine=InnoDB

And entity has 1 new column user_id:

@Entity
@Table(name = "test")
public class Test {
  @Id
  @Column(name = "id_key", columnDefinition = "VARCHAR(80)")
  private String idKey;
  
  @Column(name = "user_id")
  private String userId;
}

Generated migration SQL is:

alter table my-db.test add column user_id varchar(255)

Which ends with Exception:

Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-db.test add column user_id varchar(255)' at line 1

As MySQL requires identifier with dash to be quoted, e.g.:

alter table `my-db`.test add column user_id varchar(255)

I’ve tried to update hibernate, my-sql drivers to latest version - issue not solved.
I’ve tried to hibernate.globally_quoted_identifiers=true - table name is quted, but not catalog name. Issue not solved as well.

Maybe this issue is fixed by HHH-12939.

Try to replicate it with this test case template.

Hi @vlad. Thank you for quick reply. I’ve created test to highlight that catalog name is not quoted. I was running it over mysql_docker database profile.

This only effect schema update (creation of tables works fine). I have run alter table sql queries manually and waiting for new release with fix https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/2528.

Upgrading to 5.4.0.CR1 solved the problem. Thank you.
