Vertica Integration with Hibernate: Connection Guide

Hi,

Looks like "org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect" will work:

See:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7571890/does-eclipse-link-work-together-with-vertica

Also, found this... Patch for Vertica dialect to support Hibernate 5...

See:
https://github.com/koteika/vertica-hibernate5-dialect

Seems like it's broken for Hibernate 6. I'm changing to PostgreSALDialect. But still have a bunch of issues with Spring Security migration , so haven't tested it thoroughly.

Hi,

I am working on this issue and will check vertica dialect with Hibernate 6. I will update you accordingly.

Hi,

Please share me more details about the issues which you have encountered with Hibernate 6 and also provide me the exact version of hibernate which you were use.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Regards,
Ajay Abrol

I tried PostgreSQL dialect but it didn't work either. I will post the errors with verticadialect.jar

My application is working fine with Spring Boot 2.7, but when using Spring Boot 3.0 (after changing all javax.* to jakarta.*), that uses Hibernate 6, I get the following when I start the application:

==================
It seems like Hibernate 6 is not able to use verticaDialect.jar, whereas Hibernate 5 is using it happily.

If I use PostgreSQLDialect, I get:

Hello @GianPendola , Ajay is currently working on it to resolve the issue and provide you a solution soon. Thanks.

Hello @siddyash, do you have any update on this issue?
Thanks.

Hi @GlanPendola, I am working on it and will update with my analysis.

Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Abrol

Hi @GlanPendola,

If you want to use postgreSQLDialect then please follow https://github.com/bryanherger/vertica-information-schema. It helps you to create INFORMATION_SCHEMA and other objects on Vertica DB which helps you to connect with Vertica.

Meantime, I am working on to update VerticaDialect as per Hibernate6 and will update you accordingly.

Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Abrol

Hi @GlanPendola,

Development of Hibernate6 is completed and latest code has been published to the Git repository (https://github.com/vertica/hibernate-verticadialect). Please follow the instructions from readme file to compile and deploy VerticaDialect into your environment, Also published complied VerticaDialect.jar into Git repository under location (https://github.com/vertica/hibernate-verticadialect/tree/main/target) and you can take then deploy into your environment.

Please let me know if you face any issue.

Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Abrol

Hi @ajabrol

I see that library is in active development - you made a minor change yesterday!

I could do with using the hibernate vertica dialect. Will you be making this available via maven? I can't really use jars from other sources in the project I'm working on.

Thanks,
Robert.

Hi Robert,

I will try to publish hibernate vertica dialect into maven and meantime you can get jar from location(https://github.com/vertica/hibernate-verticadialect/tree/main/target).

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Abrol
