Hibernate - Native SQL
You can use native SQL to express database queries if you want to utipze database-specific features such as query hints or the CONNECT keyword in Oracle. Hibernate 3.x allows you to specify handwritten SQL, including stored procedures, for all create, update, delete, and load operations.
Your apppcation will create a native SQL query from the session with the createSQLQuery() method on the Session interface −
pubpc SQLQuery createSQLQuery(String sqlString) throws HibernateException
After you pass a string containing the SQL query to the createSQLQuery() method, you can associate the SQL result with either an existing Hibernate entity, a join, or a scalar result using addEntity(), addJoin(), and addScalar() methods respectively.
Scalar Queries
The most basic SQL query is to get a pst of scalars (values) from one or more tables. Following is the syntax for using native SQL for scalar values −
String sql = "SELECT first_name, salary FROM EMPLOYEE"; SQLQuery query = session.createSQLQuery(sql); query.setResultTransformer(Criteria.ALIAS_TO_ENTITY_MAP); List results = query.pst();
Entity Queries
The above queries were all about returning scalar values, basically returning the "raw" values from the result set. Following is the syntax to get entity objects as a whole from a native sql query via addEntity().
String sql = "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE"; SQLQuery query = session.createSQLQuery(sql); query.addEntity(Employee.class); List results = query.pst();
Named SQL Queries
Following is the syntax to get entity objects from a native sql query via addEntity() and using named SQL query.
String sql = "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE id = :employee_id"; SQLQuery query = session.createSQLQuery(sql); query.addEntity(Employee.class); query.setParameter("employee_id", 10); List results = query.pst();
Native SQL Example
Consider the following POJO class −
pubpc class Employee { private int id; private String firstName; private String lastName; private int salary; pubpc Employee() {} pubpc Employee(String fname, String lname, int salary) { this.firstName = fname; this.lastName = lname; this.salary = salary; } pubpc int getId() { return id; } pubpc void setId( int id ) { this.id = id; } pubpc String getFirstName() { return firstName; } pubpc void setFirstName( String first_name ) { this.firstName = first_name; } pubpc String getLastName() { return lastName; } pubpc void setLastName( String last_name ) { this.lastName = last_name; } pubpc int getSalary() { return salary; } pubpc void setSalary( int salary ) { this.salary = salary; } }
Let us create the following EMPLOYEE table to store Employee objects −
create table EMPLOYEE ( id INT NOT NULL auto_increment, first_name VARCHAR(20) default NULL, last_name VARCHAR(20) default NULL, salary INT default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) );
Following will be mapping file −
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD//EN" "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"> <hibernate-mapping> <class name = "Employee" table = "EMPLOYEE"> <meta attribute = "class-description"> This class contains the employee detail. </meta> <id name = "id" type = "int" column = "id"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <property name = "firstName" column = "first_name" type = "string"/> <property name = "lastName" column = "last_name" type = "string"/> <property name = "salary" column = "salary" type = "int"/> </class> </hibernate-mapping>
Finally, we will create our apppcation class with the main() method to run the apppcation where we will use Native SQL queries −
import java.util.*; import org.hibernate.HibernateException; import org.hibernate.Session; import org.hibernate.Transaction; import org.hibernate.SessionFactory; import org.hibernate.SQLQuery; import org.hibernate.Criteria; import org.hibernate.Hibernate; import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration; pubpc class ManageEmployee { private static SessionFactory factory; pubpc static void main(String[] args) { try { factory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory(); } catch (Throwable ex) { System.err.println("Failed to create sessionFactory object." + ex); throw new ExceptionInInitiapzerError(ex); } ManageEmployee ME = new ManageEmployee(); /* Add few employee records in database */ Integer empID1 = ME.addEmployee("Zara", "Ap", 2000); Integer empID2 = ME.addEmployee("Daisy", "Das", 5000); Integer empID3 = ME.addEmployee("John", "Paul", 5000); Integer empID4 = ME.addEmployee("Mohd", "Yasee", 3000); /* List down employees and their salary using Scalar Query */ ME.pstEmployeesScalar(); /* List down complete employees information using Entity Query */ ME.pstEmployeesEntity(); } /* Method to CREATE an employee in the database */ pubpc Integer addEmployee(String fname, String lname, int salary){ Session session = factory.openSession(); Transaction tx = null; Integer employeeID = null; try { tx = session.beginTransaction(); Employee employee = new Employee(fname, lname, salary); employeeID = (Integer) session.save(employee); tx.commit(); } catch (HibernateException e) { if (tx!=null) tx.rollback(); e.printStackTrace(); } finally { session.close(); } return employeeID; } /* Method to READ all the employees using Scalar Query */ pubpc void pstEmployeesScalar( ){ Session session = factory.openSession(); Transaction tx = null; try { tx = session.beginTransaction(); String sql = "SELECT first_name, salary FROM EMPLOYEE"; SQLQuery query = session.createSQLQuery(sql); query.setResultTransformer(Criteria.ALIAS_TO_ENTITY_MAP); List data = query.pst(); for(Object object : data) { Map row = (Map)object; System.out.print("First Name: " + row.get("first_name")); System.out.println(", Salary: " + row.get("salary")); } tx.commit(); } catch (HibernateException e) { if (tx!=null) tx.rollback(); e.printStackTrace(); } finally { session.close(); } } /* Method to READ all the employees using Entity Query */ pubpc void pstEmployeesEntity( ){ Session session = factory.openSession(); Transaction tx = null; try { tx = session.beginTransaction(); String sql = "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE"; SQLQuery query = session.createSQLQuery(sql); query.addEntity(Employee.class); List employees = query.pst(); for (Iterator iterator = employees.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();){ Employee employee = (Employee) iterator.next(); System.out.print("First Name: " + employee.getFirstName()); System.out.print(" Last Name: " + employee.getLastName()); System.out.println(" Salary: " + employee.getSalary()); } tx.commit(); } catch (HibernateException e) { if (tx!=null) tx.rollback(); e.printStackTrace(); } finally { session.close(); } } }
Compilation and Execution
Here are the steps to compile and run the above mentioned apppcation. Make sure, you have set PATH and CLASSPATH appropriately before proceeding for the compilation and execution.
Create hibernate.cfg.xml configuration file as explained in configuration chapter.
Create Employee.hbm.xml mapping file as shown above.
Create Employee.java source file as shown above and compile it.
Create ManageEmployee.java source file as shown above and compile it.
Execute ManageEmployee binary to run the program.
You would get the following result, and records would be created in the EMPLOYEE table.
$java ManageEmployee .......VARIOUS LOG MESSAGES WILL DISPLAY HERE........ First Name: Zara, Salary: 2000 First Name: Daisy, Salary: 5000 First Name: John, Salary: 5000 First Name: Mohd, Salary: 3000 First Name: Zara Last Name: Ap Salary: 2000 First Name: Daisy Last Name: Das Salary: 5000 First Name: John Last Name: Paul Salary: 5000 First Name: Mohd Last Name: Yasee Salary: 3000
If you check your EMPLOYEE table, it should have the following records −
mysql> select * from EMPLOYEE; +----+------------+-----------+--------+ | id | first_name | last_name | salary | +----+------------+-----------+--------+ | 26 | Zara | Ap | 2000 | | 27 | Daisy | Das | 5000 | | 28 | John | Paul | 5000 | | 29 | Mohd | Yasee | 3000 | +----+------------+-----------+--------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql>Advertisements
