How to set limit for a hibernate query

Question

How can I set a limit to this hql query? When I add the limit keyword in the query, an error is thrown.

 @Query("from voucher v where  v.voucherType.typeDescription = :typeDescription and v.denomination = :denomination")
 public List<Voucher> findByVoucherTypeAndDenomination(@Param("typeDescription") String typeDescription,@Param("denomination") BigDecimal denomination);

Answer 1

When you call your query add the following:

.setFirstResult(firstResult).setMaxResults(limit);

UPDATE

Docs:
http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.6/javadocs/org/hibernate/Query.html#setMaxResults(int)

If you use entityManager, it can be like:

entityManager.createQuery("yourQuery").setFirstResult(0).setMaxResults(5);

Answer 2

You can use two method of Query object.

setFirstResult()

setMaxResults()

but you can not use it in HQL because limit is database vendor dependent so hibernate doesn't allow it through hql query

Answer 3

Limit was never a supported clause in HQL. You are meant to use setMaxResults().
