Can we concatenate two properties in Hibernate HQL query?

Question

Lets say I have one table with two columns firstname and lastname with String datatype. Normally I write my hql query like

\"selec         


        

Answer 1

You may create a calculated column in your entity:

@Formula(value = " concat(first_name, ' ', last_name) ")
private String fullName;

And in your HQL you just refer to this field as you would do to any other.

In your case, you can do:

"select fullName from Contact"
