title: Mapping Multiple tables to Single Entity
body: <p>I have a Database that contains multiple tables which are generated on a per month basis. e.g</p>
  
  <pre><code>Transaction_01_2014
  Transaction_02_2014
  Transaction_03_2014
  .
  .
  .
  Transaction_12_2014
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All the tables have the same structure. The only difference is the month and year appended at the end.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to map all these tables to a single @Entity class "Transaction" in Hibernate? if yes, do I need to change some configurations? If its not possible this way, how should I operate on these tables in an subtle and simple manner, from my java application?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers!</p>
