Question

I’m currently trying to get Hibernate working with an Oracle 8 Legacy-Database.
Everything’s working fine so far but now I’ve hit a problem I have yet to overcome:
Boolean Values in the database are not kept in the ‘y’/’n’ or ‘t’/’f’ or 0/1 format but because the project is from the spanish-speaking area it is saved as ‘s’/’n’ for si/no. However, this is obviously not supported by Hibernate.

Any ideas? I would be thankful for every little pointer in the right direction. For example which class does the Boolean-Mapping, so I could maybe override it/create my own version of it?

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK, you would have to use your own Dialect class, extending the Dialect class you’re currently using, and override the method toBooleanValueString().
