I fear this Hybernate stuff. Typically the database model is a hack job, full of problems waiting growth to rear their ugly heads; and even with a nice job they treat all DBs as simple storage devices, creating an unnecessarily slow system.

the alfresco database is completely unuseable without using their hibernate mapping. forget about using reporting tools against the database structure. its heavily reliant on the hibernate cache and normalized to keep most of the content data in key/value tables (node properties keyed by content aspect).
