Hibernate Named Native SQL Query

Hibernate Named Native SQL Query

In this section, you will learn Named Native SQL Query in Hibernate.

Using HQL or criteria query in Hibernate, you can execute nearly any type of SQL query. Even so some developer complaint about slowness of statement generated by Hibernate and they opt to generate their own SQL statement. This explicitly generated query is known as Hibernate Native SQL Query.

In the Hibernate Named SQL query, we fetch the selected rows but the WHERE conditional values are passed through named variables as follows :

EXAMPLE

In the below example, we fetch the selected row from worker table using Named Native SQL Query in Hibernate.

The project hierarchy is given below :

The query for creating table worker is given below :

CREATE TABLE `worker` ( 
`worker_id` bigint(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
`firstname` varchar(50) default NULL, 
`lastname` varchar(50) default NULL, 
`birth_date` date NOT NULL, 
`cell_phone` varchar(15) NOT NULL, 
PRIMARY KEY (`worker_id`) 
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

OUTPUT

After execution, you will get the following result on console :
