Hibernate Min() Function (Aggregate Functions)

In this section, we will show you, how to use the Min() function. Hibernate supports multiple aggregate functions. When they are used in HQL queries, they return an aggregate value ( such as avg(...), sum(...), min(...), max(...) , count(*), count(...), count(distinct ...), count(all...) ) calculated from property values of all objects satisfying other query criteria.

Following is a aggregate function (min() function) with their respective syntax.

min( [ distinct | all ] object.property)

The Min() function aggregates the minimum value of the given column.

Table Name: insurance

insurance_name

invested_amount

investement_date

Life Insurance

25000

0000-00-00 00:00:00

Here is the java code to retrieve the minimum value of "invested_amount" column from insurance table:


package roseindia.tutorial.hibernate;



import java.util.List;



import org.hibernate.Query;

import org.hibernate.Session;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;



public class HibernateHQLMinFunction {



  /**

   * @Vinod Kumar

   */

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    Session sess = null;

    try {

      SessionFactory fact = new 

Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

      sess = fact.openSession();

      String SQL_QUERY = "select min

(investementAmount) from Insurance insurance";

      Query query = sess.createQuery(SQL_QUERY);

      List list = query.list();

      System.out.println("Min 

Invested Amount: " + list.get(0));

    }

    catch(Exception e){

      System.out.println(e.getMessage());

    }

  }



}

Output:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.hibernate.cfg.Environment).

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Hibernate: select min(insurance0_.invested_amount) as col_0_0_ from insurance insurance0_

Min Invested Amount: 500

an attempt to run the example;DeleteHQLExample.java gave the following error;

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
The method executeUpdate() is undefined for the type Query at roseindia.tutorial.hibernate.DeleteHQLExample.main(DeleteHQLExample.java:21)

I am using MyEclipse, suggestion on the solution would be highly appreciated.

thanks so much.
