Using stored procedures for querying
Hibernate3 provides support for queries via stored procedures and functions. Most of the following documentation is equivalent for both. The stored procedure/function must return a resultset as the first out-parameter to be able to work with Hibernate. An example of such a stored function in Oracle 9 and higher is as follows:
Code:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION selectAllEmployments
RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR
AS
st_cursor SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN st_cursor FOR
SELECT EMPLOYEE, EMPLOYER,
STARTDATE, ENDDATE,
REGIONCODE, EID, VALUE, CURRENCY
FROM EMPLOYMENT;
RETURN st_cursor;
END;
To use this query in Hibernate you need to map it via a named query.
Code:
<sql-query name="selectAllEmployees_SP" callable="true">
<return alias="emp" class="Employment">
<return-property name="employee" column="EMPLOYEE"/>
<return-property name="employer" column="EMPLOYER"/>
<return-property name="startDate" column="STARTDATE"/>
<return-property name="endDate" column="ENDDATE"/>
<return-property name="regionCode" column="REGIONCODE"/>
<return-property name="id" column="EID"/>
<return-property name="salary">
<return-column name="VALUE"/>
<return-column name="CURRENCY"/>
</return-property>
</return>
{ ? = call selectAllEmployments() }
</sql-query>
Stored procedures currently only return scalars and entities. <return-join> and <load-collection> are not supported.
