Can I fetch existing data for JPA field that newly marked as @Transient?

Question

I have a JPA column that Im GOING to mark as @Transient. But I do have some data in that field that I want to move later.

I know that @Transient won't persist. But, can I still load those existing data to the memory to the Java world?

No, `@Transient` causes hibernate to ignore that field for every action — XtremeBaumer, May 08 '19 at 13:42

No @Transientprevents JPA/Hibernate from any data access operation.

But if you have a field that you only want to read you can mark it read-only:

@Column(insertable = false, updatable = false)
private String transientField;

Thank you @Simon I think this works for me. I just only need Transient behavior with reading privileges. – ssdehero May 08 '19 at 14:01
So if my answer works for you I would appreciate if you could accept it as the correct answer. – Simon Martinelli May 08 '19 at 14:20
NOTE: tiny spelling mistake: should be `updatable` – ssdehero May 08 '19 at 14:21
I fixed the typo. Would you please be so kind to accept the answer? – Simon Martinelli May 08 '19 at 15:34
