Here file UserDaoImpl.java

@Repository
public class UserDaoImpl implements UserDao{
    @Autowired
    public LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory;


    @Override

        Query query = session.createQuery("from User");
        return (List<User>)query.list();

Here file User.java

@Entity

    @Column(name = "gender", nullable = false)

    public Gender getGender() {

}

Here file Gender.java

Here Create Table in DB

public void createTable() throws SQLException{
        try {
            Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
            Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby:D:/PROJECTSPRING/dbuser;create=true");
            createTableNotExist(connection,"userdat", "create table userdat"
                    + "(username varchar(1000) primary key,"
                    + "password varchar(1000),birthday date,"
                    + "age integer,gender varchar(100))");
//          createTableNotExist(connection,"subject","create table subject"
//                  + "(id bigint primary key generated always as identity(start with 1,increment by 1),"
//                  + "title varchar(1000),student integer,score integer)" );
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Answer 1

Enums persist by ordinal number if they do not annotated with @Enumerated . In this case hibernate expects int but gets varchar(100). Code below solves the problem.

@Column(name = "gender", nullable = false)
@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)

Answer 2

I think it is saying that it wants to store Gender as in Integer since it is an enum type. Change the database creation to:

gender integer

Answer 3

I'm publishing this answer because this error can be also caused by using column names in the CSV file.

Here is the thing: I extracted some data from a DB in CSV format using an automation tool. Then I tried to import data to Apache Derby without any success. After a couple of hours finally I figured out that column names should have been removed from the file.

It's a very simple solution but sometimes we just want run into the process ASAP and forget the details about process configuration.

I hope this post help others.

Cheers!
