Criteria c = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(student.class).setProjection(Projections.projectionList().add(Projections.property("answer"),"answer"));
c.add(Restrictions.eq("surveyId",send_Survey));
//c.add(Restrictions.eq("testId", "1" ));
//c.setProjection(Projection.max("testId"));
c.addOrder(Order.desc("testId"));
c.add(Restrictions.eq("questionid",FinalQuestionsOne));
List<String> age=c.list();

My table structure is as follows,

I need the following output. select the answer column for max TestId's. How can I get the output using criteria query

Answer 1

So I think what you're trying to get can be achievedd by the following sql:

SELECT TestId, MAX(answer) WHERE questionId = 1 GROUP BY TestId;

You should be able to achieve this with the following Hibernate:

sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(student.class).setProjection(Projections.projectionList()
                        .add(Projections.property("TestId"), "TestId")
                        .add(Projections.groupProperty("TestId"))
                        .add(Projections.max("answer")));
