How to test HQL queries?

Question

I\'m searching for a fast (really fast) way to test changes to hibernate queries. I have a huge application with thousands of different HQL queries (in XML files) and 100+ m

Answer 1

I test my HQL queries in unit-tests with the HSQLDB database. Just create an entity manager, cast it to a hibernate session and query away.

    final EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("tacs-test", props);

    final EntityManager entityManager = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();

    return (Session)entityManager.getDelegate();
