Hibernate table not found

I have a table and a mapping file in hibernate, and yet I am getting table not found when I try to query the table. Could this happen if the table I am querying has a constraint to another table? I am not using it and don't really want to make an object and mapping, etc for no reason.
thx.

The short answer is yes.
If you do not want to use the table that is in the constraint then do not map whatever field has the constraint in the table you are using. Obviously you do not need it, right?
