Table using back-tick not passing validation on Oracle
------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HHH-1951
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1951
     Project: Hibernate3
        Type: Bug

    Versions: 3.1.3    
 Environment: Client: Hibernate 3.1.3, Java 1.5.0_06, Mac OS X 10.4.7
Database server: Windows XP SP2, Oracle XE
    Reporter: Matt Solnit


I have a table mapping that looks similar to the following:
  <class name="User" table="`User`">
    <!-- etc. -->

Notice the back-ticks around the table name.

When I use Hibernate to create the schema for me, it correctly generates a table name called "User" (including the quote marks).  But when I validate the schema, it cannot find the table and so validation fails.

I am thinking the problem is somewhere in org/hibernate/tool/hbm2ddl/DatabaseMetadata.getTableMetadata().  It tries to look for "USER", because OracleDatabaseMetaData.storesUpperCaseIdentifiers() returns true.  But the code doesn't realize that quoted tables are a special case and it has to look for "User" instead.

Another symptom of the same problem is that if I generate a schema update script, it will attempt to re-create the existing table.
