HQL hay Hibernate Query Language là ngôn ngữ truy vấn hướng đối tượng của Hibernate Framework. HQL khá giống với SQL, chỉ khác ở chỗ nó sử dụng Objects thay vì tên bảng, nhờ đó nó gần gũi hơn với lập trình hướng đối tượng.

Hibernate Query Language

Hibernate Query Language – HQL

HQL và phân biệt chữ hoa – chữ thường:

HQL không phân biệt chữ hoa – chữ thường, ngoại trừ tên java class và tên biến. Ví dụ: SeLeCT, sELEct hay SELECT đều giống nhau. Nhưng com.journaldev.model.Employee thì khác với com.journaldev.model.EMPLOYEE. Một số clause thường được HQL hỗ trợ bao gồm:

  1. HQL From: Trong HQL, from tương tự như select clause trong SQL. Ví dụ: from Employee tương đương với select * from Employee. Chúng ta cũng có thể tạo alias như: from Employee emp hoặc from Employee as emp.
  2. HQL Join: HQL hỗ trợ inner join, left outer join, right outer join và full join. Ví dụ: select e.name, a.city from Employee e INNER JOIN e.address a.Trong truy vấn này, class Employee phải có một biến tên là address. Chúng ta sẽ tìm hiểu rõ hơn trong phần ví dụ code.
  3. Aggregate Functions: HQL hỗ trợ các hàm tổng hợp phổ biến như: count(*), count(distinct x), min(), max(), avg(), sum().
  4. Expressions: HQL hỗ trợ các biểu thức số học (+, -, *, /), toán tử so sánh (=, >=, <=, <>, !=, like), và các phép logic (and, or, not).
  5. HQL cũng hỗ trợ các clause như order by và group by.
  6. HQL cũng hỗ trợ sub-queries tương tự như trong SQL.
  7. Ngoài ra, HQL còn hỗ trợ DDL, DML và việc thực thi stored procedures.

Ví dụ HQL – Cài đặt Database

Trong ví dụ này, tôi sử dụng MySQL database. Script dưới đây sẽ tạo 2 bảng Employee và Address. Hai bảng này có quan hệ one-to-one mapping và tôi sẽ chèn một số dữ liệu mẫu để minh họa.

CREATE TABLE `Employee` (
  `emp_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `emp_name` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  `emp_salary` double(10,0) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`emp_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
 
CREATE TABLE `Address` (
  `emp_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `address_line1` varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `zipcode` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
  `city` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`emp_id`),
  CONSTRAINT `emp_fk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`emp_id`) REFERENCES `Employee` (`emp_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

INSERT INTO `Employee` (`emp_id`, `emp_name`, `emp_salary`)
VALUES
	(1, 'Pankaj', 100),
	(2, 'David', 200),
	(3, 'Lisa', 300),
	(4, 'Jack', 400);

INSERT INTO `Address` (`emp_id`, `address_line1`, `zipcode`, `city`)
VALUES
	(1, 'Albany Dr', '95129', 'San Jose'),
	(2, 'Arques Ave', '95051', 'Santa Clara'),
	(3, 'BTM 1st Stage', '560100', 'Bangalore'),
	(4, 'City Centre', '100100', 'New Delhi');
	
commit;

Hãy tạo một Maven project trong Eclipse hoặc bất kỳ IDE nào bạn đang sử dụng. Dự án hoàn chỉnh của chúng ta sẽ trông giống như hình dưới đây.

HQL Example Project

Hibernate Maven Dependencies

File pom.xml cuối cùng của chúng ta sẽ chứa các dependencies cho Hibernate và MySQL driver.

<project xmlns="<https://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0>" xmlns:xsi="<https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance>" xsi:schemaLocation="<https://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0> <https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd>">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>com.journaldev.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>HQLExample</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <dependencies>
  	<dependency>
  		<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  		<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
  		<version>4.3.5.Final</version>
  	</dependency>
  	<dependency>
  		<groupId>mysql</groupId>
  		<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
  		<version>5.0.5</version>
  	</dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

Hibernate Configuration XML

File hibernate configuration XML của chúng ta chứa các thuộc tính liên quan đến kết nối database và các mapping classes. Trong ví dụ này, tôi sẽ sử dụng annotations cho Hibernate mapping. hibernate.cfg.xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
		"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
		"<https://hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd>">
<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password">pankaj123</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/TestDB</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username">pankaj</property>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
        
        <property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property>
        <property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>
        
        <mapping class="com.journaldev.hibernate.model.Employee"/>
        <mapping class="com.journaldev.hibernate.model.Address"/>
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Hibernate SessionFactory Utility Class

Chúng ta có một utility class để cấu hình Hibernate SessionFactory.

package com.journaldev.hibernate.util;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;

public class HibernateUtil {

	private static SessionFactory sessionFactory;
	
	private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
        try {
            // Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
        	Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
        	configuration.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");
        	System.out.println("Hibernate Configuration loaded");
        	
        	ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).build();
        	System.out.println("Hibernate serviceRegistry created");
        	
        	SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
        	
            return sessionFactory;
        }
        catch (Throwable ex) {
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
            ex.printStackTrace();
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }
	
	public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
		if(sessionFactory == null) sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();
        return sessionFactory;
    }
}

Model Classes với Annotation-based mapping

Các model classes của chúng ta với JPA annotations sẽ trông như dưới đây.

package com.journaldev.hibernate.model;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.OneToOne;
import javax.persistence.Table;

import org.hibernate.annotations.Cascade;

@Entity
@Table(name = "EMPLOYEE")
public class Employee {

	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
	@Column(name = "emp_id")
	private long id;

	@Column(name = "emp_name")
	private String name;

	@Column(name = "emp_salary")
	private double salary;

	@OneToOne(mappedBy = "employee")
	@Cascade(value = org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.ALL)
	private Address address;

	public long getId() {
		return id;
	}

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

	public Address getAddress() {
		return address;
	}

	public void setAddress(Address address) {
		this.address = address;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public double getSalary() {
		return salary;
	}

	public void setSalary(double salary) {
		this.salary = salary;
	}

}

package com.journaldev.hibernate.model;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.OneToOne;
import javax.persistence.PrimaryKeyJoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.Table;

import org.hibernate.annotations.GenericGenerator;
import org.hibernate.annotations.Parameter;

@Entity
@Table(name = "ADDRESS")
public class Address {

	@Id
	@Column(name = "emp_id", unique = true, nullable = false)
	@GeneratedValue(generator = "gen")
	@GenericGenerator(name = "gen", strategy = "foreign", 
				parameters = { @Parameter(name = "property", value = "employee") })
	private long id;

	@Column(name = "address_line1")
	private String addressLine1;

	@Column(name = "zipcode")
	private String zipcode;

	@Column(name = "city")
	private String city;

	@OneToOne
	@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn
	private Employee employee;

	public long getId() {
		return id;
	}

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

	public String getAddressLine1() {
		return addressLine1;
	}

	public void setAddressLine1(String addressLine1) {
		this.addressLine1 = addressLine1;
	}

	public String getZipcode() {
		return zipcode;
	}

	public void setZipcode(String zipcode) {
		this.zipcode = zipcode;
	}

	public String getCity() {
		return city;
	}

	public void setCity(String city) {
		this.city = city;
	}

	public Employee getEmployee() {
		return employee;
	}

	public void setEmployee(Employee employee) {
		this.employee = employee;
	}

}

HQL Example Test Class

Hãy cùng xem cách sử dụng HQL trong các chương trình Java.

package com.journaldev.hibernate.main;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

import org.hibernate.Query;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;

import com.journaldev.hibernate.model.Employee;
import com.journaldev.hibernate.util.HibernateUtil;

public class HQLExamples {

	@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		//Prep work
		SessionFactory sessionFactory = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();
		Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
		
		//HQL example - Get All Employees
		Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
		Query query = session.createQuery("from Employee");
		List<Employee> empList = query.list();
		for(Employee emp : empList){
			System.out.println("List of Employees::"+emp.getId()+","+emp.getAddress().getCity());
		}
		
		//HQL example - Get Employee with id
		query = session.createQuery("from Employee where id= :id");
		query.setLong("id", 3);
		Employee emp = (Employee) query.uniqueResult();
		System.out.println("Employee Name="+emp.getName()+", City="+emp.getAddress().getCity());
		
		//HQL pagination example
		query = session.createQuery("from Employee");
		query.setFirstResult(0); //starts with 0
		query.setFetchSize(2);
		empList = query.list();
		for(Employee emp4 : empList){
			System.out.println("Paginated Employees::"+emp4.getId()+","+emp4.getAddress().getCity());
		}
		
		//HQL Update Employee
		query = session.createQuery("update Employee set name= :name where id= :id");
		query.setParameter("name", "Pankaj Kumar");
		query.setLong("id", 1);
		int result = query.executeUpdate();
		System.out.println("Employee Update Status="+result);

		//HQL Delete Employee, we need to take care of foreign key constraints too
		query = session.createQuery("delete from Address where id= :id");
		query.setLong("id", 4);
		result = query.executeUpdate();
		System.out.println("Address Delete Status="+result);
		
		query = session.createQuery("delete from Employee where id= :id");
		query.setLong("id", 4);
		result = query.executeUpdate();
		System.out.println("Employee Delete Status="+result);
		
		//HQL Aggregate function examples
		query = session.createQuery("select sum(salary) from Employee");
		double sumSalary = (Double) query.uniqueResult();
		System.out.println("Sum of all Salaries= "+sumSalary);
		
		//HQL join examples
		query = session.createQuery("select e.name, a.city from Employee e "
				+ "INNER JOIN e.address a");
		List<Object[]> list = query.list();
		for(Object[] arr : list){
			System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
		}
		
		//HQL group by and like example
		query = session.createQuery("select e.name, sum(e.salary), count(e)"
				+ " from Employee e where e.name like '%i%' group by e.name");
		List<Object[]> groupList = query.list();
		for(Object[] arr : groupList){
			System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
		}
		
		//HQL order by example
		query = session.createQuery("from Employee e order by e.id desc");
		empList = query.list();
		for(Employee emp3 : empList){
			System.out.println("ID Desc Order Employee::"+emp3.getId()+","+emp3.getAddress().getCity());
		}
		
		//rolling back to save the test data
		tx.rollback();
		
		//closing hibernate resources
		sessionFactory.close();
	}

}

Lưu ý rằng tôi đang sử dụng HQL cho các thao tác Select, Update và Delete. Ví dụ này cũng minh họa cách dùng HQL Join và các HQL Aggregate functions. Khi tôi chạy chương trình ví dụ HQL ở trên, chúng ta sẽ nhận được output như sau.

Lưu ý rằng sau khi thực hiện thao tác delete, các thao tác tiếp theo sẽ không còn hiển thị dữ liệu của record đó nữa (ví dụ: tổng lương chỉ còn 600). Tuy nhiên, do tôi đang rollback transaction, nên dữ liệu trong bảng thực tế không thay đổi. Nếu bạn chỉnh code để commit transaction, thì sự thay đổi sẽ được phản ánh vào các bảng trong database.

Cá nhân tôi không thích sử dụng HQL query quá nhiều, bởi vì như bạn thấy, chúng ta cần phải chú ý đến ánh xạ bảng (table mappings) trong code. Nếu dùng Session để xóa các đối tượng Employee, thì record sẽ bị xóa ở cả hai bảng.
