Question

I’ve wrote HQL query like this:

SELECT a FROM A a LEFT JOIN a.b where ...

Hibernate generate sql query like this:

SELECT a FROM A a LEFT JOIN a.b where a.b_id = b.id(+)

But when I write something like this:

SELECT a FROM where a.b.id > 5

It generate SQL:

SELECT a.* FROM A b cross join B b where b.id > 5

So when I combine this approaches I recieve Oracle ERROR:

SQL Error: 25156, SQLState: 99999
ORA-25156: old style outer join (+) cannot be used with ANSI joins

So is there way to say to Hibernate that I want receive only one type of queries (old style or new) ?

UPDATE:
By combining I mean HQL query like this:

SELECT alarm FROM Alarm as a LEFT JOIN alarm.madeBy as user where user.name = 'George' and a.source.name = 'UFO'

So here I specify that Alarm should be connected with User with LEFT JOIN, and not specify how connect Alarm with Source, so Hibernate will connect it with Cross Join.

And SQL Query will be like this:

FROM Alarms a, Users u cross join Sources s where a.user_id = u.user_id(+) and a.source_id = s.source_id and u.name = 'George' and s.name = 'UFO'

For more understanding I will add small example of Alarm Entity:

@Entity
@Table(name = 'Alarms')
public class Alarm {
   @Id
   private BigDecimial id;

   @ManyToOne
   @JoinColumn(name = "user_id")
   private User madeBy;

   @ManyToOne
   @JoinColumn(name = "source_id")
   private Source source;
}

So the solving of this problem is set hibernate’s Dialect to org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect

<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect</property>
