Syntax issue with HSQL sequence: `NEXTVAL` instead of `NEXT VALUE`

Question

I have webapps deployed on a Jetty server and connected to HSQLDB databases located on the HSQLDB server. I get this error when I try to create an entity:

ERROR org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter Unexpected token: NEXTVAL in statement [/* dynamic native SQL query */ SELECT nextval('campagne_sequence')]

I initialize the sequence as follows:

CREATE SEQUENCE PUBLIC.CAMPAGNE_SEQUENCE START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1

In my webapp, I set the Hibernate dialect with org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect

I checked the syntax to create a sequence and it's correct. I'm using hsqldb-1.8.0.10 and I also checked if the syntax have changed for the next version, it didn't.

I know the correct syntax is NEXT VALUE and not NEXTVAL as in PostgreSQL, but I don't how to fix it. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks

Edit:

In test-environment, everything works fine. All my tests run fine. But in dev-environment, I get the error when I try to create a Campagne. There is a test which creates one too and it works. So it should work with hsqldb-1.8.0.10 version.

I tried to add the String ;sql.syntax_pgs=true after the database URL, didn't work.

Edit:

This is the full stack trace I get:

Answer 1

Based on the QUERY comment /* dynamic native SQL query */ the query is not generated by the dialect but by a native SQL query, so fixing the query would solve the problem.

Have a look at the project code to see if there any native queries calling sequences using nextval.

Answer 2

You can use this with HSQLDB version 1.8.0 and later if you create a table ONE_ROW_TABLE and insert exactly one row into it.

 SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR campagne_sequence FROM ONE_ROW_TABLE

But you should move to HSQLDB version 2.3.x which gives you the following options:

 VALUES NEXT VALUE FOR campagne_sequence

or to use the same method as PostgreSQL, add this string to the end of the database URL ;sql.syntax_pgs=true to enable PostgreSQL syntax compatibility mode in HSQLDB.

 SELECT nextval('campagne_sequence')
