SQL To HQL translation issue

Question

Here is my two entities :

@Table(name = "Table1")
@Entity
public class Table1 {
private Long id;
private Table2 table2;
private String field2;

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Column(name = "ID")
public Long getId() {
    return id;
}

public void setId(Long id) {
    this.id = id;
}

@ManyToOne(optional = false)
@JoinColumn(name = "field1")
public Table2 getTable2() {
    return table2;
}

public void setTable2(Table2 table2) {
    this.table2 = table2;
}

@Column(name = "field2")
public String getField2() {
    return field2;
}

public void setField2(String field2) {
    this.field2 = field2;
}
}

@Table(name = "table2")
@Entity
public class Table2 {
private Long id;
private List<Table1> table1List;
private String field5;
private boolean field4;
private String field3;

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Column(name = "ID", insertable = false, updatable = false)
public Long getId() {
    return id;
}

public void setId(Long id) {
    this.id = id;
}

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "table2", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@LazyCollection(LazyCollectionOption.FALSE)
public List<Table1> getTable1List() {
    return table1lList;
}

public void setTable1List(List<Table1> table1List) {
    this.table1List = table1List;
}

@Column(name = "field5")
public String getField5() {
    return field5;
}

public void setField5(String field5) {
    this.field5 = field5;
}

@Column(name = "field4")
public boolean getField4() {
    return field4;
}

public void setField4(boolean field4) {
    this.field4 = field4;
}

@Column(name = "field3")
public String getField3() {
    return field3;
}

public void setField3(String field3) {
    this.field3 = field3;
}

}

I write my SQL query to return a duplicate rows from table1, then filter the result using other criteria.

SELECT p1.*
 FROM table1 p1, table2 d
  JOIN (
     SELECT field1, field2, COUNT(*)
       FROM table1
        GROUP BY field1, field2
         HAVING count(*) > 1 
     ) p2
  ON 
  p1.field1 = p2.field1 AND
  p1.field2 = p2.field2 and 
  d.id = p1.field1 and
  d.field3 IN ('A', 'B') and 
  d.field4 = 0 and
  d.field5 not in ('DD', 'MM', 'FF', 'RR')
ORDER BY p1.field2

I tried to translate my query to HQL :

SELECT p1 FROM Table1 p1, Table2 d 
  WHERE (p1.table2.id, p1.field1) in (
         SELECT table2.id, field2 FROM (
            SELECT pp.table2.id, pp.field2, COUNT(pp)
                FROM table1 pp
                GROUP BY pp.table2.id, pp.field2
                HAVING count(pp) > 1 
         )
        ) AND
        p.table2.id = d.id AND
        d.field3 IN (:list3) AND
        d.field4 = false AND
        d.field5 NOT IN (:list5)

When running my app, I get this errors :

Sep 23, 2020 6:45:17 PM org.hibernate.hql.ast.ErrorCounter reportError
SEVERE: line 1:263: unexpected token: (

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in Advance.

Answer 1

I would just use @NamedNativeQuery and not bother to convert a relatively complex query into HSQL. You can still use setParameter .

If you really need to use HSQL, I suggest you re-post a version of your code with line numbers so they can be matched up with the error messages.

Answer 2

I managed to solve the problem by my self. Note that a sub select is a query embedded into another query. It's a powerful feature from SQL. Unfortunately, JPQL supports it only in the WHERE clause and not in the SELECT or FROM clause.

The tuned SQL Query :

SELECT p1.*
FROM table1 p1, table2 d
JOIN (
      SELECT field2
      FROM table1
      GROUP BY field2
      HAVING count(*) > 1 
     ) p2
ON 
p1.field2 = p2.field2
and p1.field1 =  d.id
and d.field3 IN ('A', 'B') 
and d.field4 = 0
and d.field5 not in ('DD', 'MM', 'FF', 'RR')
ORDER BY p1.field2 

The Final executable HQL query after tuning a little bit my SQL query is :

SELECT p1 FROM Table1 p1, Table2 d 
WHERE p1.field2 in (
          SELECT pp.field2
          FROM table1 pp
          GROUP BY pp.field2
          HAVING count(pp.field2) > 1 
      ) 
      AND p.table2.id = d.id
      AND d.field3 IN (:list3)
      AND d.field4 = false
      AND d.field5 NOT IN (:list5)
