ResultTransformer with createSQLQuery forces no camelCase in entity fields

Question

I have an sql query as follows:

List employees = getCurrentSession()
                    .createSQLQuery(
                            \"select\"
         


        

Answer 1

For a simpler solution, double-quote the identifier in the query as sent to the server. Instead of

e.first_name as firstName

it should read

e.first_name as "firstName"

In PostgreSQL, double-quoting an identifier forces case-sensitivity. Unquoted, it (mostly) follows the SQL standard and folds to a single case (albeit lower case where the standard is upper case).
