ERROR: ORA-02289: sequence does not exist

[Thakur Sachin Singh]

I am creating a basic hibernate application for employee table in which I am adding, updating, deleting and displaying the record with the help of ManageEmployee class.

Actually, ManageEmployee is my test class and i am using Employee.java and Employee.hbm.xml file to do above things.

Details: Database: Oracle 11 g Hibernate version: hibernate-release-4.3.8.Final Java Version: Java 1.8

Employee Table Details:

USER_ID NUMBER(15,0) No 1 1
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) Yes 2
LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) Yes 3
SALARY NUMBER(10,0) Yes 4

Error Log: you can see in the log that error is coming 3 times because I am adding Employee object 3 times in ManageEmployee.java class with addEmployee(...) method so I am assuming that problem is with the sequence generator for the column id.

Here I am using naive generator. i.g. Integer empID1 = ME.addEmployee("Zara", "Ali", 1000);

Have you asked Hibernate to create your db for you, or have you done it by hand?
If the latter then you will (IIRC) need to create the SEQUENCE that Hibernate is to use for your IDs, which will also mean changing your XML to tell Hibernate what SEQUENCE to use.

[Thakur Sachin Singh]

Hi,

I have created database and table myself.

If the latter then you will (IIRC) need to create the SEQUENCE that Hibernate is to use for your IDs, which will also mean changing your XML to tell Hibernate what SEQUENCE to use.

How we can implement this?

[Thakur Sachin Singh]

here is my model class

import javax.persistence.Id;


public class Employee {
   
	
   private int user_id;
   private String firstName; 
   private String lastName;   
   private int salary;  

   public Employee() {}
   public Employee(String fname, String lname, int salary) {
      this.firstName = fname;
      this.lastName = lname;
      this.salary = salary;
   }
  
   public String getFirstName() {
      return firstName;
   }
   public void setFirstName( String first_name ) {
      this.firstName = first_name;
   }
   public String getLastName() {
      return lastName;
   }
   public void setLastName( String last_name ) {
      this.lastName = last_name;
   }
   public int getSalary() {
      return salary;
   }
   public void setSalary( int salary ) {
      this.salary = salary;
   }
public int getUser_id() {
	return user_id;
}
public void setUser_id(int user_id) {
	this.user_id = user_id;
}
}

You'll need to read up on Oracle sequences and how they function, as well as telling Hibernate that you are using a SEQUENCE (section 5.1.2.2.4) rather than a native generator.

[Thakur Sachin Singh]

Hi,

@Dave: Thanks for the information, now i have fixed my problem.

I have created a sequence in oracle database by the below query and updated my hbm.xml file

CREATE SEQUENCE TAB_CUSTOMER_SEQ
START WITH 1
MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999
MINVALUE 1
NOCYCLE
CACHE 20
NOORDER;

<id name="user_id" type="int" column="user_id">
      	  <generator class="sequence">
            <param name="sequence">TAB_CUSTOMER_SEQ</param>
          </generator>         
      </id>

[Dave Tolls]

That's good..

Thanks for coming back and posting your fix.
