JPA Sub-Queries

In this section, you will see how to use sub-queries in your JPA application. Sub-queries allows you for querying the vast number of data components in a single query.

JPA Sub-queries:

Query query=em.createQuery
("SELECT st FROM Student st WHERE st.sroll=
(SELECT st.sroll FROM Student st WHERE st.sroll>100 AND st.sroll<102)");

For JPA Grouping application, you need the following artifacts:

Database Table: student
Model Class: Student.java
Main Class: JPASubQueries.java

Database Table: student

CREATE TABLE `student` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`sname` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`sroll` int(11) NOT NULL,
`scourse` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)

Model Class: Student.java

/**

package roseindia;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.NamedQueries;

import javax.persistence.Table;

/**

@Entity

public class Student {

@Id
@GeneratedValue
private int id;

/**

*/
public int getId() {
return id;
}

/**
* @param id the id to set
*/
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}

@Column(name="sname", length=100,nullable=false)
private String sname;

/**
* @return the sname
*/
public String getSname() {
return sname;
}

/**
* @param sname the sname to set
*/
public void setSname(String sname) {
this.sname = sname;
}

@Column(name="sroll",nullable=false)
private int sroll;

/**
* @return the sroll
*/
public int getSroll() {
return sroll;
}

/**
* @param sroll the sroll to set
*/
public void setSroll(int sroll) {
this.sroll = sroll;
}

@Column(name="scourse",length=10,nullable=false)
private String scourse;

/**
* @return the scourse
*/
public String getScourse() {
return scourse;
}

/**
* @param scourse the scourse to set
*/
public void setScourse(String scourse) {
this.scourse = scourse;
}

}

Main Class: JPASubQueries.java

/**

package roseindia;

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import javax.persistence.EntityTransaction;
import javax.persistence.Persistence;
import javax.persistence.Query;

/**

public class JPASubQueries {

/**

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

try{

Query query=em.createQuery("SELECT st FROM Student st WHERE st.sroll=(SELECT st.sroll FROM Student st WHERE st.sroll>100 AND st.sroll<102)");

System.out.print("id:"+st.getId());

System.out.print(" scourse:"+st.getScourse());
System.out.println();
}
entr.commit();
}
finally{
em.close();
}
}
}

Output:
