Hibernate Delete Query

In this lesson we will show how to delete rows from the underlying database using the hibernate. Lets first write a java class to delete a row from the database.

Create a java class:
Here is the code of our java file (DeleteHQLExample.java), which we will delete a row from the insurance table using the query "delete from Insurance insurance where id = 2"

Here is the code of delete query: DeleteHQLExample.java


package roseindia.tutorial.hibernate;



import org.hibernate.Query;

import org.hibernate.Session;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import org.hibernate.Transaction;

import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;



public class DeleteHQLExample {

  /**

     * @author vinod
    Kumar

     * 

     * http://www.roseindia.net Hibernate

     Criteria Query Example

     *  

     */

  public static void main(String[] args) {

  // TODO Auto-generated method stub  

  Session sess = null;

  try {

  SessionFactory fact = new 

Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

  sess = fact.openSession();

  String hql = "delete from 

Insurance insurance where id = 2";

  Query query = sess.createQuery(hql);

  int row = query.executeUpdate();

  if (row == 0){

  System.out.println("Doesn'

t deleted any row!");

  }

  else{

  System.out.println("Deleted

 Row: " + row);

  }

  sess.close();

  }

  catch(Exception e){

  System.out.println(e.getMessage());

  }

  }

}

Download this code.

Output:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.hibernate.cfg.Environment).

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Hibernate: delete from insurance where ID=2

Deleted Row: 1

Thanks for the code but you have not given how to design the database accordingly which may be difficult for beginner.

Regd Hibernate Delete Query Example

Hi, The tutorial was good as i am a beginner with Hibernate. I tried the delete query example and i am not getting the expected output. The output comes as insurance has not been mapped. In the program too, there is no object formation of insurance table. Can you please explain me how this process works.. Thanks, Ramya.

Delete one row using hibernate without query

Instead of using the query we can use the delete method in org.hibernate.Session In the above example, to delete the row in insurance with id=2, we may use the following: Transaction tran = sess.beginTransaction(); Insurance insurance = (Insurance)sess.get(Insurance.class, 2); sess.delete(insurance); tran.commit();

Modification to code

Downloaded latest hibernate.jar from sourceforge.net public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Session sess = null; try { SessionFactory fact = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory(); sess = fact.openSession(); Transaction transaction = sess.beginTransaction(); String hql = "delete from roseindia.tutorial.hibernate.Insurance where ID = 3"; Query query = sess.createQuery(hql); int row = query.executeUpdate(); transaction.commit(); if (row == 0){ System.out.println("Doesn't deleted any row!"); } else{ System.out.println("Deleted Row: " + row); } sess.flush(); sess.close(); } catch(Exception e){ System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } }

error

pls change the all hibernate stating code because they all are worked properly but they dont take effect in database so again make some changes here one more thing is for note:  here First "Insurance" is use the name of your "bean name" Other is "insurance" is use the name of your database "table name"  public class FirstExample extends Contact{ public static void main(String[] args) { Session session = null; Transaction transaction = null ; try{ SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory(); session = sessionFactory.openSession(); transaction = session.beginTransaction(); transaction.begin(); String hql = "delete from Contact contact where id = 7"; Query query = session.createQuery(hql); int row = query.executeUpdate(); if (row == 0){ System.out.println("Doesn't deleted any row!"); } else{ System.out.println("Deleted Row: " + row); } transaction.commit(); session.flush(); session.close(); } catch(Exception e){ System.out.println("error in first"+e.getMessage()); } } }

quality

your examples has errors or some lines of code are not present for a good execution for example do not has commit and transaction definition in several of them. The above example give me exception = null. Please revise the examples and your correct execution. Thanks

It is not using hibernate method to delete record

Hello Sir, It is using SQL query to delete record. It is not the hibernate way to delete record. As SQL query would make it database dependent. Please update the code.
