Hibernate not Injecting Parameters in Query Annotation

Question

I've read the documentation on inserting method parameters into queries and other questions however they all suggest that this should work.

 @Query(value = "SELECT * FROM period WHERE time LIKE \":day%\" AND id IN (SELECT id FROM booking)", nativeQuery = true)
    List<Booking> findAllBookingsOnDay(@Param("day") String day);

Results in:

Hibernate: SELECT * FROM period WHERE time LIKE ":day%" AND id IN (SELECT id FROM booking)

I've tried removing quotations and percentage but that just results in.

Hibernate: SELECT * FROM period WHERE time LIKE ? AND id IN (SELECT id FROM booking)

Answer 1

The correct way to do this is to just use an unescaped placeholder in the query, and the bind the LIKE wildcard expression to it from the Java side.

@Query(value = "SELECT * FROM period WHERE time LIKE :day AND id IN (SELECT id FROM booking)", nativeQuery =true)
List<Booking> findAllBookingsOnDay(@Param("day") String day);

Usage:

String day = "%friday%";   // or whatever value would make sense here
findAllBookingsOnDay(day);
