Hibernate.default_schema usage in Hibernate 5

Hibernate ORM

What does hibernate.default_schema mean to Hibernate ?

Here is my entity definition.

@ Table(name = “cluster”, schema = “schema1”)
@ SecondaryTable(name = “Cluster”, schema = “schema2”, pkJoinColumns = @ PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name = “clusterId”, referencedColumnName = “objid”))
@ org.hibernate.annotations.Table(appliesTo = “Cluster”, optional = false)
@ Entity
@ OptimisticLocking(type = OptimisticLockType.DIRTY)
@ DynamicUpdate
public class Cluster implements Serializable {

}

If I set hibernate.default_schema to say mock_schema1 does it set for Main table(@Table) or secondary table(@SecondaryTable)?

How can I add default_schema for the Main table? it is working for a secondary table but not for the main table

I was wondering if I can use any similar hibernate property for Dbtest which can use a different schema(mock_schema1) instead of the default schema(schema1).

It sets the default database schema. Check out the User Guide for more details.

The default schema applies to all tables mapped by your entities.

This question is not very clear. You could use the hibernate.default_catalog if you want to set the default database catalog used by Hibernate, and vary the catalog for production or testing using Maven build profiles.

The below query is generated in the normal case by hibernate.
select
this_.objid as objid1_0_0_,
this_.name as name2_0_0_,
this_.resourceKey as resource3_0_0_,
this_.uuid as uuid4_0_0_,
this_1_.healthStatus as healthSt1_2_0_,
this_1_.lastSync as lastSync2_2_0_
from
schema1.cluster this_
inner join
schema2.Cluster this_1_
on this_.objid=this_1_.clusterId

In case of Dbtest, i want the query to use mock_schema2.Cluster instead of schema2.Cluster.
I want to know how to modify entity mapping metadata without modifying entity definition.

With hibernate property
hibernate.dialect org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
hibernate.connection.driver_class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

One more thing i noticed
When i use hibernate.default_schema ZZZZZZ
Hibernate generated query contains
schema2.ZZZZZZ.Cluster this_1_
But when i use hibernate.default_catalog ZZZZZZ
schema2.Cluster this_1_
I was expecting query to be something like ZZZZZZ.Cluster this_1_

Use a XML mapping to override the entity annotation anc use that for testing only.

Check out this article for more details.

It is extra overhead in maintaining, we have hundreds of entities and xml override doesn’t look like a viable solution.
Instead is there a way to update catalog/schema from metadata maybe?

You can write a program to generate all XML mappings based on the entities. Here’s an article about accessing the metadata.
