Is it possible to use JPQL for getting random rows? For example in SQL Server I would use: select * from myTable where columnName 开发者_运维百科= 4 order by newid()
Thanks, Rod
This is what I use. I first get the number of rows for the entity and I then limit the results of the fetch query to a random row. This involves two queries, so if this is a problem for you you might want to watch native queries. If not here is the code I use:
public <T> T randomEntity(EntityManager em, Class<T> clazz) {
Query countQuery = em.createQuery("select count(id) from "+clazz.getName());
long count = (Long)countQuery.getSingleResult();
Random random = new Random();
int number = random.nextInt((int)count);
Query selectQuery = em.createQuery("from "+clazz.getName());
selectQuery.setFirstResult(number);
selectQuery.setMaxResults(1);
return (T)selectQuery.getSingleResult();
}
As of today (April 9th 2010), JPQL does not support random ordering
