"ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got BLOB" in EAP

Issue

• An entity type with a Lob property and an association is defined

@Entity
public class Employee {
    ...
}

@Entity
public class Department {
    ...
    @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "department")
    private List<Employee> employees;

    @Lob
    private byte[] blobData;
    ...
}

• Execute a select distinct ... join query

    // The below generates the SQL query:
    // select distinct department0_.name as name0_, department0_.blobData as blobData0_ from Department department0_
    //  inner join Employee employees1_ on department0_.name=employees1_.dept_name
    List results = entityManager.createQuery(
        "select distinct department from Department department join department.employees employee"
    ).getResultList();

• The query execution fails with an ORA-00932 exception
