JPA Substring() Function

In this section, you will learn about the JPQL substring() function. The substring() function returns the some part of string arguments. It takes three arguments. First is string argument that have to be concatenate, second is starting index and third is length of string .

JPA Substring() Function:

Query query=em.createQuery(
"UPDATE Student st SET st.sname=SUBSTRING('vinod kumar',1,5)
WHERE st.sname='vinod kumar'");

For JPA substring application, you need the following artifacts:

Database Table: student
Model Class: Student.java
Main Class: JPASubStringFunction.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`)
)

}

/**

}

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

/**

public String getScourse() {
return scourse;
}

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

}

Main Class: JPASubStringFunction.java

 /**

package roseindia;

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

EntityManagerFactory emf=Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("jpa");
EntityManager em=emf.createEntityManager();
try{
EntityTransaction entr=em.getTransaction();
entr.begin();
Query query=em.createQuery("UPDATE Student st SET st.sname=SUBSTRING('vinod kumar',1,5) WHERE st.sname='vinod kumar'");
int updateRecord=query.executeUpdate();
System.out.println(updateRecord+" reocrds are updated");
entr.commit();
}
finally{
em.close();
}
}
}

Output:

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

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Hibernate: update student set sname=substring('vinod kumar', 1, 5) where sname='vinod kumar'

1 reocrds are updated
