Hibernate Criteria Expression (gt)

     

In this section, you will learn to use the "gt" method. This is one of the most important  method that is used to apply a "greater than" constraint to the named property

Expressions: The Hibernate Criteria API supports a rich set of comparison operators. Some standard SQL operators are =, <, ?, >, ?. That supports gt() method in Expression class.

In this tutorial, "gt" is used with the Long object (ID). It takes two parameters e.g.  ge("property_name",Object val).
