• Statement.setFetchSize(int)
• Constant Field Values

HINT_CACHEABLE

static final String HINT_CACHEABLE

Hint for specifying whether results from a query should be stored in the query cache.

See Also:

• SelectionQuery.setCacheable(boolean)
• Constant Field Values

HINT_CACHE_REGION

static final String HINT_CACHE_REGION

• Constant Field Values

HINT_CACHE_MODE

static final String HINT_CACHE_MODE

Hint for specifying the CacheMode to use.

See Also:

• Constant Field Values

HINT_COMMENT

static final String HINT_COMMENT

Hint for specifying a database comment to be appended to the SQL statement sent to the database.

HINT_FOLLOW_ON_LOCKING

static final String HINT_FOLLOW_ON_LOCKING

Hint to enable or disable the follow-on locking mechanism provided by Dialect.useFollowOnLocking(java.lang.String, org.hibernate.query.spi.QueryOptions).

A value of true enables follow-on-locking, whereas a value of false disables it. If the value is null, the dialect itself will determine whether follow-on locking is used.

Since:

5.2

HINT_NATIVE_SPACES

static final String HINT_NATIVE_SPACES

Hint for specifying the query spaces that affect the results of a native query.

Passed value can be any of:

• a List of the spaces,
• an array of the spaces, or
• a string with a whitespace-separated list of the spaces.

Typically, these are the names of tables which are referenced by the query.

• SynchronizeableQuery.addSynchronizedQuerySpace(java.lang.String)
• HINT_FLUSH_MODE
• NamedNativeQuery.querySpaces()
• Constant Field Values

HINT_CALLABLE_FUNCTION

• Constant Field Values

HINT_JDBC_BATCH_SIZE

static final String HINT_JDBC_BATCH_SIZE

Hint to set the batch size for JDBC batching for a given EntityManager.

See Also:

• BatchSettings.STATEMENT_BATCH_SIZE
• EntityManager.setProperty(String, Object)
• Constant Field Values

HINT_QUERY_PLAN_CACHEABLE

static final String HINT_QUERY_PLAN_CACHEABLE

Hint to enable or disable the query plan caching.

By default, query plan caching is enabled for HQL queries and immutable criteria queries i.e. created with QuerySettings.CRITERIA_COPY_TREE. Query plan caching can be disabled for any query by setting this property to false. Query plan caching can be enabled for mutable criteria queries by setting this property to true.

Setting this property to true for mutable criteria queries can lead to cache trashing, because the query plan is cached based on a copy of the criteria query. This is mostly useful when the same Query should be executed multiple times, but with different parameter values to avoid re-translation of the criteria query.

Note that setting this property to true does not override the basic safety measures of Hibernate. Hibernate will never cache query plans that are not safe to cache, regardless of the value of this property.

Since:

6.3

See Also:

• SelectionQuery.setQueryPlanCacheable(boolean)
• Constant Field Values

HINT_QUERY_DATABASE

static final String HINT_QUERY_DATABASE

Hint for specifying a query hint to be appended to the SQL statement sent to the database.
