How do you handle the situation where persistence class attribute name is one of the reserved keyword in database; e.g. user ? Will this cause any issue while hibenrate executes SQL statements behind the scene?

you should not declare java keywords as attribute name .because when u execute the code it will search for getter /setter method.which can not be created in java files(reserved keywords);

It will not create any problem hibernate will take care of it. In table columns if table can be created with that attribute name then it can be use in hibernate also.

Prashant ,
The question is not java reserved key word. Pls read the questions carefully b'fore replying

It doesnt make any problem, Through hsql u can perform the query. If it is resrved key word also, hibernate will take care of it.

In case attribute name in a class is keyword in underlying database, attribute should be mapped with some other column name that is acceptable for DB. For instatce a class can have attribute "date" (getDate()/setDate()) and in most of DB, date is reserve keyword for "Date" datatype. So we can map this with some other column name

<property name="date" column="blah_date" type="date" />

Otherwise mapping won't work.
