Hibernate JPA - Generate join table in Many-To-Many mapping
I'm trying to map a unidirectional Many-To-Many mapping in a legacy oracle database using Hibernate (within a Spring Boot framework if that makes a difference).
The reading I've done so far seems to suggest that there needs to be a join table in the database, which this DB does not have. Is it possible for Hibernate to create a temporary join table in memory 'on the fly' to fulfil its requirements for the mapping? If so then what are the steps - or if not, then what are the alternatives?
hibernate jpa join spring-data-jpa many-to-many

If the DB does not have a join table then I don't think it is many to many. Are you saying the existing schema does not have it or Oracle doesn't support a join table (not likely). Perhaps you should add the schema.

It definitely is a many-to-many association - Entity A can be associated to multiple Entity Bs, and Entity B can be associated to multiple Entity As. Regarding the schema, the join table doesn't exist and I won't be allowed to add it to the legacy DB, hence my question as to whether hibernate can generate a temporary join table in memory instead..

Good, but your question is still not clear. For JPA in memory temp tables, no, not that I'm aware of, and why would you want a temporary persistence table? Kind of defeats the point doesn't it. In terms of DB stuff you can't do a many-to-many in a RDBMS without a join table. So, like I said, you need to explain your question more clearly or rethink your issue. Hope this helps.
