14.7. Aggregate functions
HQL queries can even return the results of aggregate functions on properties:
select avg(cat.weight), sum(cat.weight), max(cat.weight), count(cat) from Cat cat
The supported aggregate functions are:
avg(...), sum(...), min(...), max(...)
count(*)
count(...), count(distinct ...), count(all...)
You can use arithmetic operators, concatenation, and recognized SQL functions in the select clause:
select cat.weight + sum(kitten.weight) from Cat cat join cat.kittens kitten group by cat.id, cat.weight
select firstName||' '||initial||' '||upper(lastName) from Person
The
distinct
and all
keywords can be used and have the same semantics as in SQL.
select distinct cat.name from Cat cat select count(distinct cat.name), count(cat) from Cat cat
