Hibernate Group by Criteria Object

Question

I would like to implement the following SQL query with Hibernate Criteria:

SELECT column_name, aggregate_function(column_name)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name <operator> value
GROUP BY column_name

I have tried to implement this with Hibernate Criteria but it didn't work out.

Can anyone give me an example how this can be done with Hibernate Criteria? Thanks!

Answer 1

Please refer to this for the example .The main point is to use the groupProperty() , and the related aggregate functions provided by the Projections class.

For example :

SELECT column_name, max(column_name) , min (column_name) , count(column_name)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name > xxxxx
GROUP BY column_name

Its equivalent criteria object is :

List result = session.createCriteria(SomeTable.class)       
                    .add(Restrictions.ge("someColumn", xxxxx))      
                    .setProjection(Projections.projectionList()
                            .add(Projections.groupProperty("someColumn"))
                            .add(Projections.max("someColumn"))
                            .add(Projections.min("someColumn"))
                            .add(Projections.count("someColumn"))           
                    ).list();
