What is the name of the generatedvalue table in jpa?


Asked by Morgan Walsh on Dec 06, 2021 FAQ



By default, if you use Hibernate as the implementation of JPA, the name of this table is hibernate_sequences. There are currently two versions that define the structure of this table, depending on the value of the “hibernate.id.new_generator_mappings” property.
In addition,
As I said before, in JPA, let the primary keys of a table in the database automatically be assigned values each time we insert a new record and this value is unique, we will use the @GeneratedValue annotation when declaring those primary key columns.
In this manner, The JPA specification supports 4 different primary key generation strategies which generate the primary key values programmatically or use database features, like auto-incremented columns or sequences. The only thing you have to do is to add the @GeneratedValue annotation to your primary key attribute and choose a generation strategy.
Consequently,
Meaning of @GeneratedValue with strategy of TABLE. The JPA specification gives the following explanation of the annotation @GeneratedValue(strategy=TABLE): The TABLE generator type value indicates that the persistence provider must assign primary keys for the entity using an underlying database table to ensure uniqueness.
One may also ask,
The JPA provides a lot of generator that ranging from simple to complex. The most simple generators that could be used are IDENTITY and AUTO, meanwhile the most complex generators that are used a little more work to achieve are SEQUENCE and TABLE SEQUENCE.
