Question

Imagine I have a database with one table, this table has only one field named ‘word’ and some other data, imagine also that user can search data by typing contents of this field. I have a lot of words on this table with Spanish accents.

Word examples

ácido

autobús

camión

Question

If user searches for ‘acido’ or ‘ácido’ words the query will return ‘ácido’ row. How do this with Hibernate?

Edit

I’m using Oracle 10g as RDBMS and Hibernate named query.

Thanks in advance

Finally I’m using Oracle TRANSLATE function, in a named query similar to this:

  <query name='queryName'>   <![CDATA[         FROM Table         WHERE            upper(TRANSLATE(nivell_1,'ÀàÉÈéèÍíÓóÒòÚú','AaEEeeIiOoOoUu')) LIKE           upper(TRANSLATE(nivell_1,'ÀàÉÈéèÍíÓóÒòÚú','AaEEeeIiOoOoUu'))   ]]>            </query>
