Use result of of query of one table/entity to query another entity/table

Question

I have two tables represented by two entities :

        @Entity
    public class HostEntity
    {
        @NotNull
        private String myGroup;

        @Id
        @NotNull
        private String host;

        @NotNull
        private long inGroupSince;
}

and

    @Entity
    public class GroupEntity
    {
        @NotNull
        private String groupId;

        @Id
        @NotNull
        private String propertiesStr;
}

I have crudRepository for each entity/table.

So, given two numbers , startTime and finishTime ,and two strings , stringA and stringB first - get all HostEntity.myGroup (lets call this ListA ) such that HostEntity.inGroupSince is between startTime and finishTine, and then , return all GroupEntity.groupId such that GroupEntity.groupdId is in ListA and GroupEntity.propertiesStr containt stringA and StringB

What would be the best way to achieve that ? I can do it in one query ?

Im working in Spring Boot with crudRepository and kinda new to it.

I can use @query annotations in the repostiroy , for example I got the following code :

@Repository
@Profile(Constants.SPRING_PROFILE_DEVELOPMENT)
public interface IGroupsRepositoryDev extends IGroupsRepository
{
    @Query("SELECT j FROM GroupEntity j WHERE LOWER(j.propertiesStr) LIKE %?1%  and LOWER(j.propertiesStr) LIKE %?2% and LOWER(j.propertiesStr) LIKE %?3%"
        + " and LOWER(j.propertiesStr) LIKE %?4% and LOWER(j.propertiesStr) LIKE %?5% and LOWER(j.propertiesStr) LIKE %?6% and LOWER(j.propertiesStr) LIKE %?7%"
        + " and LOWER(j.propertiesStr) LIKE %?8% and LOWER(j.propertiesStr) LIKE %?9% and LOWER(j.propertiesStr) LIKE %?10% and LOWER(j.propertiesStr) LIKE %?11% ")
    List<UUID> findByProperties(String property1,String property2,String property3,String property4,String property5,String property6
        ,String property7,String property8,String property9,String property10,String property11);

}

which return every GroupEntity such that GroupEntity.propertiesStr containts 11 strings inside of it

UPDATE

I used the following as suggested below :

    @Query(" SELECT groupId from GroupEntity where groupId IN (SELECT myGroup FROM HostEntity WHERE inGroupSince > ?12 AND inGroupSince < ?13) "
       + "AND LOWER(propertiesStr) LIKE %?1%  and LOWER(propertiesStr) LIKE %?2% and LOWER(propertiesStr) LIKE %?3%"
       + " and LOWER(propertiesStr) LIKE %?4% and LOWER(propertiesStr) LIKE %?5% and LOWER(propertiesStr) LIKE %?6% and LOWER(propertiesStr) LIKE %?7%"
       + " and LOWER(propertiesStr) LIKE %?8% and LOWER(propertiesStr) LIKE %?9% and LOWER(propertiesStr) LIKE %?10% and LOWER(propertiesStr) LIKE %?11% ")
   List<String> findByPropertiesBetweenTime(String property1,String property2,String property3,String property4,String property5,String property6
       ,String property7,String property8,String property9,String property10,String property11,long st,long ft);

and I put it inside GroupEntity repository, but its not working . what am I doing wrong ?

Answer 1

[...] get all HostEntity.myGroup (lets call this ListA) such that HostEntity.inGroupSince is between startTime and finishTine [...]

SELECT myGroup FROM HostEntity WHERE inGroupSince > startTime AND inGroupSince < finishTime

[...] then , return all GroupEntity.groupId such that GroupEntity.groupdId is in ListA [...]

Use above SELECT as inner select:

SELECT groupId FROM GroupEntity 
WHERE 
  groupId IN (SELECT myGroup FROM HostEntity WHERE inGroupSince > startTime AND inGroupSince < finishTime)

[...] and GroupEntity.propertiesStr containt stringA and StringB [...]

Add LIKEs:

SELECT groupId FROM GroupEntity 
WHERE 
  groupId IN (SELECT myGroup FROM HostEntity WHERE inGroupSince > startTime AND inGroupSince < finishTime)
AND propertiesStr LIKE '%stringA%' 
AND propertiesStr LIKE '%stringB%'

Answer 2

okie !!! got it to work !!

used the following query :

@Query("select ge from GroupEntity ge where ge.groupId in ( select k.myGroup from HostEntity k where k.inGroupSince > ?1 and k.inGroupSince < ?2 ) "
       + "and ge.propertiesStr like %?3% and ge.propertiesStr like %?4% and ge.propertiesStr like %?5% and ge.propertiesStr like %?6% and ge.propertiesStr like %?7% "
       + "and ge.propertiesStr like %?8% and ge.propertiesStr like %?9% and ge.propertiesStr like %?10% and ge.propertiesStr like %?11% and ge.propertiesStr like %?12% "
       + " and ge.propertiesStr like %?13%")
    List<GroupEntity> findGrpWithPropertiesBetweenTime(long st,long ft,String property1,String property2,String property3,String property4,String property5,String property6
       ,String property7,String property8,String property9,String property10,String property11);
