NonUniqueDiscoveredSqlAliasException: Encountered a duplicated sql alias [ASC_ID] during auto-discovery of a native-sql query

Question

I have three tables CREDENTIAL_USER, CREDENTIAL_EXPIRATION and ASC_DETAILS - whose looks like :

CREDENTIAL_USER { ASC_ID, name, ITEM}, CREDENTIAL_USER { MONTH, YEAR, ASC_ID} and ASC_DETAILS {ASCID, NAME, ROLE}.

I executed a simple native SQL join to select only CREDENTIAL_USER.ASC_ID and ASC_DETAAILS.ASCID as :

Query query = entityManager.createNativeQuery("SELECT ad.ASCID,ad.NAME,ad.CRED_EMPLOYEE_FNAME,ad.CRED_EMPLOYEE_LNAME,ad.CRED_EMPLOYEE_EMAIL,ad.CRED_EMPLOYEE_REMINDER,"+
                              " cu.*, ce.*, cl.* FROM ASC_DETAILS ad,CREDENTIAL_USER cu, CREDENTIAL_EXPIRATION ce, CREDENTIAL_LICENSE cl WHERE"+ 
                              " cu.IS_CRD_EMPLOYEE = true AND cl.IS_EMPLOYEE = true AND  ce.LICENSE_ID = cl.LICENSE_ID  AND cu.ASC_ID=ad.ASCID"+ 
                              " AND ce.LICENSE_EXP_YR >= "+year+" AND (ce.IS_LICENSE_YES=1 OR ce.IS_LICENSE_YES=3) AND cu.ASC_ID=ce.ASC_ID AND"+
                              " cu.ID=ce.EMPLOYEE_ID");
             List<Object[]> list = query.getResultList();

Its running fine on local, But getting org.hibernate.loader.custom.NonUniqueDiscoveredSqlAliasException: Encountered a duplicated sql alias [ASC_ID] during auto-discovery of a native-sql query

exception on JBoss server

Answer 1

CREDENTIAL_USER { ASC_ID, name, ITEM}, CREDENTIAL_USER { MONTH, YEAR, ASC_ID} both contain ASC_ID so ASC_ID becomes ambiguous in select query. Select your data column wise and give separate alias for each column

Answer 2

When using coalesce for the first time, I also run into this problem. I have solved it by writing:

...
coalesce(column_name, 'default_value') as key_word,
...

in my query.

Adding just coalesce(column_name, 'default_value'), creates several values with alias coalesce and this error occurs.
