Dynamic Fetch Type Change in Native Queries with Hibernate/JPA
Dynamic Fetch Type Change in Native Queries with Hibernate/JPA In this article, we will explore how to dynamically change the fetch type of an entity (in this case, Section) when executing a native query using Hibernate/JPA. The current implementation is using FetchType.LAZY for Section, which is causing issues because we are trying to access it directly from the native query. Introduction When working with JPA and Hibernate, one of the benefits is the ability to use native queries to execute complex database operations.
