QueryDSL predicate for the equivalent query

Question

I want to create an equivalent predicate for the query below,

SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE t_date < NOW() ORDER BY updated_at DESC LIMIT 0,10

Right now I am up to this, in the start and end I will pass the LIMIT values such as 0,10

   simpleRepository.findAll(SimplePredicates.pastRecords(), new PageRequest(start, end,
   QuerydslHelper.sortDescBy(QMyEntity.myEntity.updatedAt)));

And in the predicate,

    public static Predicate pastRecords() {
     QMyEntity myEntity=QMyEntity.myEntity;
     return myEntity.tdate.before(new Date());
     }

I am getting the result as desired, but I am not sure if this is the right way.

Any other possible solutions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The predicate in Querydsl is the 'where' part of the JPQL query. Your pastRecords() implementation looks ok.
