Hibernate Select Clause

In this lesson we will write example code to select the data from Insurance table using Hibernate Select Clause. The select clause picks up objects and properties to return in the query result set. Here is the query:

Select insurance.lngInsuranceId, insurance.insuranceName, insurance.investementAmount, insurance.investementDate from Insurance insurance

which selects all the rows (insurance.lngInsuranceId, insurance.insuranceName, insurance.investementAmount, insurance.investementDate) from Insurance table.

Hibernate generates the necessary sql query and selects all the records from Insurance table. Here is the code of our java file which shows how select HQL can be used:

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

import java.util.*;

public class SelectClauseExample {
  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();
     
    //Create Select Clause HQL
     String SQL_QUERY ="Select insurance.lngInsuranceId,insurance.insuranceName," + 
     "insurance.investementAmount,insurance.investementDate from Insurance insurance";
     Query query = session.createQuery(SQL_QUERY);
     for(Iterator it=query.iterate();it.hasNext();){
       Object[] row = (Object[]) it.next();
       System.out.println("ID: " + row[0]);
       System.out.println("Name: " + row[1]);
       System.out.println("Amount: " + row[2]);
     }
     
        session.close();
  }catch(Exception e){
    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
  }finally{
    }
  }
}
