[ERROR] ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined

There are two entities:

@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
public class Person implements Serializable {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Long id;
    ...
}

@Entity
public class Man extends Person {
    ...
}

Trying to execute the following method:

@Test
public void clear(EntityManager em) {
    EntityTransaction tx = em.getTransaction();
    tx.begin();
    System.out.println(em
            .createQuery("delete from Man m where m.id > 14582647")
            .executeUpdate());
    tx.commit();
}

Get the error:

[ERROR] ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined

hibernate.show_sql shows sql-queries:

Hibernate: insert into HT_Man select man0_.id as id from Man man0_ inner join Person man0_1_ on man0_.id=man0_1_.id where id=14582647
Hibernate: delete from HT_Man

The error occurs in a place where id = 14582647 as there must be more than just id, and for example man0_.id. How to generate the correct sql-query?

Add a @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn annotation on Man class:

@Entity
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name = "<pk column name in Man table>")
public class Man extends Person {
    ...
}

Also, you should define a Discriminator column in Person and the @DiscriminatorValue in Man so that Hibernate can figure out which tables to join (when you introduce say a Woman table).
