[[ddl-changes]]
== DDL type changes
[[ddl-offset-time]]
=== OffsetTime mapping changes
`OffsetTime` now depends on `@TimeZoneStorage` and the `hibernate.timezone.default_storage` setting.
Since the default for this setting is now `TimeZoneStorageType.DEFAULT`, this means that the DDL expectations for such columns changed.
If the target database supports time zone types natively like H2, Oracle, SQL Server and DB2 z/OS,
the type code `SqlTypes.TIME_WITH_TIMEZONE` is now used, which maps to the DDL type `time with time zone`.
Due to this change, schema validation errors could occur on existing databases.
The migration to `time with time zone` requires a migration expression like `cast(old as time with time zone)`
which will interpret the previous time as local time and compute the offset for the `time with time zone` based on the current date
and time zone settings of your database session.
If the target database does not support time zone types natively, Hibernate behaves just like before.
To retain backwards compatibility, configure the setting `hibernate.timezone.default_storage` to `NORMALIZE`.
[[ddl-uuid-mariadv]]
=== UUID mapping changes on MariaDB
On MariaDB, the type code `SqlTypes.UUID` now by default refers to the DDL type `uuid`, whereas before it was using `binary(16)`.
Due to this change, schema validation errors could occur on existing databases.
The migration to `uuid` requires a migration expression like `cast(old as uuid)`.
To retain backwards compatibility, configure the setting `hibernate.type.preferred_uuid_jdbc_type` to `BINARY`.
[[ddl-uuid-sqlserver]]
=== UUID mapping changes on SQL Server
On SQL Server, the type code `SqlTypes.UUID` now by default refers to the DDL type `uniqueidentifier`, whereas before it was using `binary(16)`.
Due to this change, schema validation errors could occur on existing databases.
The migration to `uuid` requires a migration expression like `cast(old as uuid)`.
To retain backwards compatibility, configure the setting `hibernate.type.preferred_uuid_jdbc_type` to `BINARY`.
[[ddl-json-oracle]]
=== JSON mapping changes on Oracle
On Oracle 12.1+, the type code `SqlTypes.JSON` now by default refers to the DDL type `blob` and on 21+ to `json`, whereas before it was using `clob`.
Due to this change, schema validation errors could occur on existing databases.
The migration to `blob` and `json` requires a migration expression like `cast(old as blob)` and `cast(old as json)` respectively.
To get the old behavior, annotate the column with `@Column(definition = "clob")`.
This change was done because `blob` and `json` are way more efficient and because we don't expect wide usage of `SqlTypes.JSON` yet.
[[ddl-json-h2]]
=== JSON mapping changes on H2
On H2 1.4.200+, the type code `SqlTypes.JSON` now by default refers to the DDL type `json`, whereas before it was using `clob`.
Due to this change, schema validation errors could occur on existing databases.
The migration to `json` requires a migration expression like `cast(old as json)`.
Note that this change in behavior is backwards compatible and you do not need to change your schema,
unless you are running into schema validation errors and want to fix them.
To get the old behavior, annotate the column with `@Column(definition = "clob")`.
This change was done because the native `json` type is more efficient and because we don't expect wide usage of `SqlTypes.JSON` yet.
[[ddl-implicit-datatype-enum]]
=== Datatype for enums
Hibernate 6.1 changed the implicit SQL datatype for mapping enums from `TINYINT` to `SMALLINT` to account for
Java supporting up to 32K enum entries which would overflow a `TINYINT`. However, almost no one is developing
enums with that many entries. Starting in 6.2, the choice of implicit SQL datatype for storing enums is sensitive
to the number of entries defined on the enum class. Enums with more than 128 entries are stored as `SMALLINT` implicitly,
otherwise `TINYINT` is used.
NOTE:: On MySQL, enums are now stored using the `ENUM` datatype by default
[[ddl-timezones]]
=== Timezone and offset storage
`hibernate.timezone.default_storage` now defaults to `DEFAULT`, meaning:
* if the database/dialect supports it, time zones of date/time values are stored by using the `timestamp with time zone` SQL column type;
* otherwise, time zones of date/time values are not stored, and date/time values are normalized to UTC.
In Hibernate ORM 5, time zones were not stored, but normalized to the time zone set in `hibernate.jdbc.time_zone`, the JVM time zone by default.
This discrepancy might lead to incorrect date/time being loaded from the database
for properties of type `OffsetDateTime` and `ZonedDateTime`
if your application was migrated from Hibernate ORM 5 and
was setting `hibernate.jdbc.time_zone` to a non-UTC timezone.
To revert to Hibernate ORM 5's behavior, set the configuration property `hibernate.timezone.default_storage` to `NORMALIZE`.
[[byte-and-character-array-mapping-changes]]
== Byte[]/Character[] mapping changes
Hibernate historically allowed mapping `Byte[]` and `Character[]` in a domain model as basic values to
`VARBINARY` and `(N)VARCHAR` SQL types.
Strictly speaking, this is an inaccurate mapping. Because the Java wrapper types (`Byte` and `Character`) are used, null
elements are allowed. However, it is not possible to store such domain values as `VARBINARY` and `(N)VARCHAR` SQL types.
In fact, attempting to store such values leads to errors on previous versions. The legacy support has an implicit contract
that the `Byte[]` and `Character[]` types are handled exactly the same as the `byte[]` and `char[]` variants.
Building on the link:{docsBase}/6.1/migration-guide/migration-guide.html#basic-arraycollection-mapping[ability] to use
structured SQL types (`ARRAY`, `SQLXML`, ...) for storing basic values, 6.2 makes it configurable how to handle mappings of
this type:
DISALLOW:: (default) Throw an informative and actionable error
ALLOW:: Allows the use of the wrapper arrays stored as structured SQL types (`ARRAY`, `SQLXML`, ...) to maintain proper null element semantics.
LEGACY:: Allows the use of the wrapper arrays stored as `VARBINARY` and `VARCHAR`, disallowing null elements.
See link:{javadocsBase}/org/hibernate/cfg/AvailableSettings.html#WRAPPER_ARRAY_HANDLING[AvailableSettings#WRAPPER_ARRAY_HANDLING]
The main idea here is for applications using these types in the domain model to make a conscious decision about how these
values are stored.
NOTE: Some mappings are considered implicit opt-in to the legacy behavior; e.g. using `@Lob` or `@Nationalized`
For those using such mappings, there are a few options -
1. Migrate the domain model to use `byte[]` and `char[]` instead.
2. Specify `hibernate.type.wrapper_array_handling=legacy` to enable the legacy behavior.
3. Specify `@JavaType(ByteArrayJavaType.class)` or `@JavaType(CharacterArrayJavaType.class)` attribute-by-attribute
4. Specify `hibernate.type.wrapper_array_handling=allow`. If the schema is legacy, migrate the database schema to use a structured SQL type. E.g.
a. Execute `alter table tbl rename column array_col to array_col_old` to have the old format available
b. Execute `alter table tbl add column array_col DATATYPE array` to add the column like the new mapping expects it to be
c. Run the query `select t.primary_key, t.array_col_old from table t` to extract `byte[]` or `String`
d. For every result, load the Hibernate entity by primary key and set the field value to transformed result `Byte[]` or `Character[]`
e. Finally, drop the old column `alter table tbl drop column array_col_old`
[[ddl-check]]
=== Check constraints for boolean and enum mappings
Check constraints now correctly generated for boolean and enum mappings
[[logical-1-1-unique]]
== UNIQUE constraint for optional one-to-one mappings
Previous versions of Hibernate did not create a UNIQUE constraint on the database for
logical{fn-logical-1-1} one-to-one associations marked as optional. That is not correct
from a modeling perspective as the foreign-key should be constrained as unique. Starting in
6.2, those UNIQUE constraints are now created.
Often the association can also be remapped using `@ManyToOne` + `@UniqueConstraint` instead.
[[oracle-number]]
== Column type inference for `number(n,0)` in native SQL queries on Oracle
Since Hibernate 6.0, columns of type `number` with scale 0 on Oracle were interpreted as `boolean`, `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, or `bigint`,
depending on the precision.
Now, columns of type `number` with scale 0 are interpreted as `int` or `bigint` depending on the precision.
[[database-versions]]
== Removal of support for legacy database versions
This version introduces the concept of minimum supported database version for most of the database dialects that Hibernate supports.
This implies that the legacy code for versions that are no longer supported by their vendors, has been removed from the hibernate-core module.
It is, however, still available in the hibernate-community-dialects module, just under a different package,
namely `org.hibernate.community.dialect` instead of `org.hibernate.dialect`.
Note that this also includes version specific dialects like `PostgreSQL81Dialect`, `MariaDB102Dialect` etc.
The minimum supported dialect versions are as follows:
|===
|Dialect |Minimum supported version
|MySQL
|5.7
|SQL Server 2008
|10.0
|DB2
|10.5
|DB2i
|7.1
|DB2z
|12.1
|MariaDB
|10.3
|H2
|1.4.197
|Derby
|10.14.2
|Sybase
|16.0
|CockroachDB
|21.1
|PostgreSQL
|10.0
|Oracle
|11.2
|HSQLDB
|2.6.1
|===
[[cdi]]
== Changes to CDI handling
When CDI is available and configured, Hibernate can use the CDI `BeanManager` to resolve various
bean references. JPA explicitly defines support for this for both attribute-converters and
entity-listeners.
Hibernate also has the ability to resolve some of its extension points using the CDI `BeanManager`.
Version 6.2 adds a new boolean `hibernate.cdi.extensions` setting to control this:
true:: indicates to use the CDI `BeanManager` to resolve these extensions
false:: (the default) indicates to not use the CDI `BeanManager` to resolve these extensions
The previous behavior was to always load the extensions from CDI if it was available. However,
this can sometimes lead to timing issues with the `BeanManager` not being ready for use when we need
those extension beans. Starting with 6.2, these extensions will only be resolved from the CDI
`BeanManager` if `hibernate.cdi.extensions` is set to true.
[[enhancement]]
== Change enhancement defaults and deprecation
The `enableLazyInitialization` and `enableDirtyTracking` enhancement tooling options in the ANT task, Maven Plugin and Gradle Plugin,
as well as the respective `hibernate.enhancer.enableLazyInitialization` and `hibernate.enhancer.enableDirtyTracking` configuration settings,
switched their default values to `true` and the settings are now deprecated for removal without replacement.
See link:https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15641[HHH-15641] for details.
The global property `hibernate.bytecode.use_reflection_optimizer` switched the default value to `true`
and the setting is now deprecated for removal without replacement. See link:https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15631[HHH-15631] for details.
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// API / internal
[[api-internal]]
== API / SPI / Internal distinction
Dating back to Hibernate 5.x, we have been cleaning up packages to make the distinction between contracts
which are considered an API, SPI and internal. We've done some more work on that in 6.2 as well.
[[api-internal-cfg]]
=== org.hibernate.cfg package
The `org.hibernate.cfg` package has been especially egregious in mixing APIs and internals historically. The only
true API contracts in this package include `org.hibernate.cfg.AvailableSettings` and `org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration`
which have been left in place.
Additionally, while it is considered an internal detail, `org.hibernate.cfg.Environment` has also been left in place
as many applications have historically used it rather than `org.hibernate.cfg.AvailableSettings`.
A number of contracts are considered deprecated and have been left in place.
The rest have been moved under the `org.hibernate.boot` package where they more properly belong.
[[api-internal-loader]]
=== org.hibernate.loader package
Most of the `org.hibernate.loader` package is really an SPI centered around `org.hibernate.loader.ast`
which supports loading entities and collections by various types of keys - primary-key, unique-key,
foreign-key and natural-key. `org.hibernate.loader.ast` has already been previously well-defined
in terms of SPI / internal split.
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// SPI
[[spi]]
== Changes in integration contracts (SPIs)
SPI is a category of interfaces that we strive to maintain with more stability than internal APIs, but which might change from minor to minor
upgrades as the project needs a bit of flexibility.
These are not considered public API so should not affect end-user (application developer's) code but such changes might break integration
with other libraries which integrate with Hibernate ORM.
During the development of Hibernate ORM 6.2 the following SPIs have seen some modifications:
[[spi-lock]]
=== EntityPersister#lock
Changed from `EntityPersister#lock(Object, Object, Object, LockMode, SharedSessionContractImplementor)` to `EntityPersister#lock(Object, Object, Object, LockMode, EventSource)`.
This should be trivial to fix as `EventSource` and `SharedSessionContractImplementor` are both contracts of the `SessionImpl`; to help transition we recommend using
the methods `isEventSource` and `asEventSource`, available on the `SharedSessionContractImplementor`contract.
N.B. method `asEventSource` will throw an exception for non-compatible type; but because of previous restrictions all invocations to `lock` actually had to be compatible:
this is now made cleared with the signature change.
[[spi-multiLoad]]
=== EntityPersister#multiLoad
The same change was applieed to `multiLoad(Object[] ids, SharedSessionContractImplementor session, MultiIdLoadOptions loadOptions)`,
now migrated to `multiLoad(Object[] ids, EventSource session, MultiIdLoadOptions loadOptions)`
The same conversion can be safely applied.
[[spi-afterDeserialize]]
=== Executable#afterDeserialize
As in the previous two cases, the parameter now accepts `EventSource` instead of `SharedSessionContractImplementor`.
The same conversion can be safely applied.
[[spi-JdbcType]]
=== JdbcType#getJdbcRecommendedJavaTypeMapping()
The return type of `JdbcType#getJdbcRecommendedJavaTypeMapping()` was changed from `BasicJavaType` to `JavaType`.
Even though this is a source compatible change, it breaks binary backwards compatibility.
We decided that it is fine to do this though, as this is a new minor version.
[[query-path-comparison]]
=== Query Path comparison
As of 6.2, comparisons of paths are type checked early. This means that a comparison predicate in HQL or JPA Criteria
might fail to construct if the types of the left and right hand side are not compatible.
In general, two types T1 and T2 are considered compatible if
* T1 == T2
* T1 instanceof T2 or T2 instanceof T1
* T1 is temporal and T2 is temporal
* T1 or T2 is unknown
* T1 can be widened/coerced to T2, or the other way around
Widening/Coercion usually refers to e.g. widening an integer to a long, but can also mean
that a string constant can be interpreted as enum when comparing against an enum attribute.
Note that a comparison of a temporal attribute against a string literal worked before
```sql
from MyEntity e where e.temporalAttribute > '2020-01-01'
```
but has to be changed to the proper temporal literal now
```sql
from MyEntity e where e.temporalAttribute > date 2020-01-01
```
