      Hi,
      I am trying to build an application based on EJB3, but when i deploy it to the server i get this error : ORA-00972 identifier is too long.
      The problem caused by the name of the generated foreign key.

      Thanks for helps

          Well.. unfortunately Oracle will not allow you to use column names, longer than 30 chars. I suppose this is the problem you encounter. Check the length of your property name and consider the naming strategy you use?

          For example, using org.hibernate.cfg.DefaultComponentSafeNamingStrategy and several levels of embedded properties, can easily interfere with this Oracle limitation when trying to generate names like "customer_address_municipality_id":(

          If this is not the case, it's not a bad idea to paste some code, logs...?

            Hi, i tried to use the safe strategy, but it doesn't work, i got the same problem, i think that i missed some properties. here is my persistence. xml file

            <persistence>
             <persistence-unit name="NtimBizAppDataLayer">
             <jta-data-source>java:OracleDS</jta-data-source>
             <properties>
             <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop"/>
             <property name="hibernate.ejb.naming_strategy" value="org.hibernate.cfg.DefaultComponentSafeNamingStrategy" />
             </properties>
             </persistence-unit>
            </persistence>
            

            Please can you give a short example.
            thx for your help
