Hibernate mysql innodb

Question

I wanted to force hibernate to use innodb.

So, i changed the "hibernate.dialect" in order to have innodb, but i can connect to mysql, but when i do some transactions i have the following error:

org.springframework.transaction.TransactionSystemException: Could not commit JPA transaction; nested exception is javax.persistence.RollbackException: Transaction marked as rol lbackOnly at org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager.doCommit(JpaTransactionManager.java:465) at org.springframework.transaction.support.AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.processCommit(AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.java:709) at org.springframework.transaction.support.AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.commit(AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.java:678) at org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionAspectSupport.commitTransactionAfterReturning(TransactionAspectSupport.java:321) at org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionInterceptor.invoke(TransactionInterceptor.java:116) at org.springframework.aop.framework.ReflectiveMethodInvocation.proceed(ReflectiveMethodInvocation.java:171) at org.springframework.aop.framework.JdkDynamicAopProxy.invoke(JdkDynamicAopProxy.java:204) at $Proxy46.deleteAsset(Unknown Source)

here is my persistence.xml:

Do you have any idea ?

Answer 1

Hibernate has no say in whether a table is Inno, MyISAM or another storage engine - that's decided on the MySQL side. There are defaults in the server config, and you can override them when you create tables.

The difference would not have given you the trace - all that happens when you use transactions on a MyISAM table, is you get no transactions. Everything succeeds, but there's no isolation and no roll-backs.

Per @shipmaster, your trace means you have an underlying problem, which is probably not related to your dialect choice. Take a look in the logs, or attach Spring's sources to the project and trace through them.

Answer 2

Using the MySQL5InnoDBDialect just tells Hibernate to add "ENGINE=InnoDB" when generating DDL during schema export, nothing more. I'm not sure existing tables will be altered though. So if you have existing tables using MyISAM, you may have to alter them manually.
