i wish to fetch top 10 results based on 'totalTradedVolume' filed of my table 'MasterScrip' when i write the following query:

Collection<MasterScrip> sm=null;
   sm=em.createQuery("select m from MasterScrip m where m.type = :type order by m.totalTradedVolume limit 2").setParameter("type", type).getResultList();

i get the following exception :

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An exception occurred while creating a query in EntityManager: 
Exception Description: Syntax error parsing the query [select m from MasterScrip m where m.type = :type order by m.totalTradedVolume limit 2], line 1, column 78: unexpected token [limit].
Internal Exception: NoViableAltException(80@[])

something's wrong with my jpa query. can anyone pls correct me?

Answer 1

limit is not recognized in JPA. You can instead use the query.setMaxResults method:

sm = em.createQuery("select m from MasterScrip m where m.type = :type 
        order by m.totalTradedVolume")
    .setParameter("type", type)
    .setMaxResults(2).getResultList()
