HQL Group By Clause Example

Group by clause is used to return the aggregate values by grouping on returned component. HQL supports Group By Clause. In our example we will calculate the sum of invested amount in each insurance type. Here is the java code for calculating the invested amount insurance wise:


package roseindia.tutorial.hibernate;
 import org.hibernate.Session;
 import org.hibernate.*;
 import org.hibernate.cfg.*;
 import java.util.*;

  */
 public class HQLGroupByExample {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
     Session session = null;
     try {
       // This step will read 

hibernate.cfg.xml and prepare hibernate for
       // use
       SessionFactory sessionFactory = 

new Configuration().configure()
           .buildSessionFactory();
       session = sessionFactory.openSession();
       //Group By Clause Example
       String SQL_QUERY = "select sum

(insurance.investementAmount),

insurance.insuranceName "
           + "from Insurance insurance 

group by insurance.insuranceName";
  Query query = session.createQuery(SQL_QUERY);
  for (Iterator it = 

query.iterate(); it.hasNext();) {
  Object[] row = (Object[]) it.next();
  System.out.println("

Invested Amount: " + row[0]);
  System.out.println("

Insurance Name: " + row[1]);
       }
       session.close();
     } catch (Exception e) {
       System.out.println(e.getMessage());
     } finally {
     }
   }
 }

To run the example select Run-> Run As -> Java Application from the menu bar. Following out is displayed in the Eclipse console:

Hibernate: select sum(insurance0_.invested_amount) as col_0_0_, insurance0_.insurance_name as col_1_0_ from insurance insurance0_ group by insurance0_.insurance_name

Invested Amount: 3500

Insurance Name: Car Insurance
