How to INSERT using a SELECT in Hibernate

Question

I need to implement the following request in hibernate:

insert into my_table(....,max_column)
values(...,(select max(id) from special_table where ....))

How to do that in hibernate, using annotations? special_table may be not a child or dependency of my_table, just a subselect.

Answer 1

You can use the INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... feature :

int updateCount = session.createQuery("""
    insert into MyEntity(
        ...,
        max_column
    ) 
    select 
        ..., 
        max(id) 
    from SpecialEntity 
    """)
.executeUpdate();
