HQL from clause Example

In this example you will learn how to use the HQL from clause. The from clause is the simplest possible Hibernate Query. Example of from clause is:

from Insurance insurance

Here is the full code of the from clause example:

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.*;
import org.hibernate.cfg.*;

import java.util.*;

public class SelectHQLExample {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
  Session session = null;

  try{
    // This step will read hibernate.cfg.xml and prepare hibernate for use
    SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
     session =sessionFactory.openSession();
     
     
      //Using from Clause
       String SQL_QUERY ="from Insurance insurance";
       Query query = session.createQuery(SQL_QUERY);
       for(Iterator it=query.iterate();it.hasNext();){
         Insurance insurance=(Insurance)it.next();
         System.out.println("ID: " + insurance.getLngInsuranceId());
         System.out.println("First Name: " + insurance.getInsuranceName());
       }
       
          session.close();
  }catch(Exception e){
    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
  }finally{
    }

  }  
}

To run the example select Run-> Run As -> Java Application from the menu bar. Following out is displayed in the Eclipse console:

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

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
