How to escape colon `:` within a native SQL query in Hibernate?

Question

I have a native SQL query that looks like that :

Query query = session.createSQLQuery(\"SELECT
        XMLSERIALIZE
        (CONTENT
          XMLELEMENT
           


        

Answer 1

If your colon is a cast like SELECT reltuples::BIGINT then you can rewrite it as a cast(reltuples as BIGINT) to avoid the colons.
