This problem should be discussed on the Hibernate Mailing list. I can
tell you that it might be possible to extend HibernatePostgreSQLDialect
with your own implementation (I also do it this way in my project) to
add some custom modifications. E.g. the name length is not correct in
Hibernate (states 32, is 64 here).
By the way, please note that PostgreSQL converts every name to
lowercase, and, by enclosing it in quotes, an exact match is to be
found. If you are able to, just use lowercase table names in postgres,
and your problem is solved.
With best regards,
