Hi, how can I get the table name of an entity in Hibernate 6.2+? I used this in Hibernate 5.6:
```auto
public static String getEntityTableName(final EntityManager entityManager,
final Class clazz) {
final Session session = entityManager.unwrap(Session.class);
final SessionFactory sessionFactory = session.getSessionFactory();
final ClassMetadata hibernateMetadata = sessionFactory
.getClassMetadata(clazz);
final AbstractEntityPersister persister = (AbstractEntityPersister) hibernateMetadata;
if (persister == null) {
return null;
}
return persister.getTableName();
}
```

You can use `AbstractEntityPersister#getTableNames()`, but this is all pretty much internal stuff, so you will have to dig into the code to ensure youβre getting what you expect.

From which class can I get the `AbstractEntityPersister`? `MetamodelImplementor` is deprecated and `MappingMetamodel` is incubating.

`AbstractEntityPersister` is internal, so using an incubating API is the least of your problems π

You are right π, but is there no external way to get the table name?

There is no supported way to do this.

Can you tell me more details about the supported way? π³

The βnoβ must have slipped when I typed this. There is **no** supported way.
