“org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute statement” this exception generally occurred when there is some issue with generated query grammar or syntax. Actual reason of issue you will in exception stacktrace cause.

Problem

In this case issue is “com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table ‘test.stock’ doesn’t exist”. This issue is because of test.stock table is not find out because here input mapping xml file having catalog as “test” that is schema or database name while in hibernate.cfg.xml mentioned schema name as facingissuesonitdb.

Input Stock.hbm.xml

<hibernate-mapping>
    <class name="com.facingissuesonit.model.Stock" table="stock" catalog="test">
    <id name="stockId" type="java.lang.Integer">
       <column name="STOCK_ID" />
       <generator class="identity" />
    </id>
    <property name="stockCode" type="string">
           <column name="STOCK_CODE" length="10" not-null="true"     unique="true" />
    </property>
    <property name="stockName" type="string">
            <column name="STOCK_NAME" length="20" not-null="true" unique="true" />
    </property>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Solutions

• Solution 1: Replace above xml attribute catalog value from “test” to “facingissuesonitbd” as used same in hibernate.cfg.xml.
• Solution 2: If your application is using only one database/schema then recommendation is to mention schema name in hibernate.cfg.xml so that in future if your schema name get change only configuration file need to update not all mapping files.
