Spring Boot: keywords supported for JPA

I wanted to perform the Spring JPA repository where wanted to apply the and operation among 2 columns where one column cloud have multiple values in it.
SQL query for the same:
select * from table_name where col1='col1_val' and col2 IN
('col2_val_a','col2_val_b','col2_val_c');
I know that for and operation I can extend the JpaRepository and create the method with like this for:
List<MyPoJoObject> findByCol1AndCol2(String col1_val,String col2_val);
and for IN operation we can use : findByCol2In(Collection<String> col2_val)
But i did not know how i can club both the mentioned JPA default method into one, as per my sql statement mentioned before.

You can use the following method named:
List<MyPoJoObject> findByCol1AndCol2In(String col1_val, Collection<String> col2_val);
On this link repository-query-keywords you can find repository query keywords that you can use and combine them as well.

You can certainly combined both into one method.
List<MyPoJoObject> findByCol1AndCol2In(String col1_val,String[] col2_val);
Try this. I am not sure if it will accept Collection<String>. I will try that and update the answer.
HTH.

If you want to perform this logic for more than two columns then your method name becomes verbose.
Instead of stuck with Spring naming why can't you write your own JPA query.
Example:
#Query("select pojo from MyPoJoObject as pojo where pojo.col1 = :col1_val and pojo.col2 in :col2_val")
List<MyPoJoObject> findByColumns(String col1_val, List<String> col2_val);

How to obtain list of count() results using JpaRepository #Query?

I'm building REST API connected to ORACLE 11G DB. API sends data to Android client using JSON. To get data I'm using JpaRepository, and #Query annotations.
I want to provide data for charts: number of contracts in years.
I have native SQL query:
select aa.ROK, count(aa.NUMER_UMOWY)
from (select distinct NUMER_UMOWY, ROK from AGR_EFEKTY) aa
group by aa.ROK order by aa.ROK
Result of query using SQL Developer look like this:
I tried to get result using native query:
But result is always like this:
or error depending what I try.
Is it possible to obtain list of count() results using #Query?
If not, what should I use?
Thanks in advance :-)

I think What you are trying to use here is spring data projection.
As mentioned in the reference doc:
Spring Data query methods usually return one or multiple instances of
the aggregate root managed by the repository. However, it might
sometimes be desirable to create projections based on certain
attributes of those types. Spring Data allows modeling dedicated
return types, to more selectively retrieve partial views of the
managed aggregates.
and particularly closed projection where all accessor methods match the target attributes. In your case the count is not an attribute of your aggregate.
To perform what you want you can use constructor as follow :
class ContractsDto{
private String rok;
private int count;
public ContractsDto(String rok, int count) {
this.rok=rok;
this.count =count;
}
// getters
}
The query will be:
#Query(value = "select new ContractsDto(aa.rok , /*count */) from fromClause")
List<ContractsDto> getContractsPerYear();

How to specify spring data jpa request to load collection of entity properties?

I use spring data JPA. I need in my repository request to load only collection of concrete properties colors:
#Query(value = "SELECT cd.color FROM CalendarDetails cd where cd.userCalendar.userId = :userId")
List<String> findCalendarColorsByUserWithDuplicates(#Param("userId") Long userId);
Provided solution works correctly.
I want simplify it using spring approach to load collection of the repository objects I'd use (repository public interface CalendarDetailsRepository extends JpaRepository<CalendarDetails, Long>):
List<CalendarDetails> findByUserCalendarUserId(#Param("userId") Long userId);
But I need collection of colors! Trying
List<String> findColorByUserCalendarUserId(Long userId);
I get collection of CalendarDetails
Is it possible to improve my last request following spring data approaches to load list of colors?

You can try special Projection mechanisms that Spring Data provides. It will allow you not only to optimize your queries but also to make it with pure java without using #Query.
There are a lot of ways to
make it, but I would recommend the following.
You add an interface that contains getters for the properties that you need to take from entity:
public interface ColorOnly {
String getColor();
}
Then you return the list of this interface' objects:
List<ColorOnly> findColorByUserCalendarUserId(Long userId);
To use the colours from the interface, you just invoke getColor method. You may consider simplifying it with Java 8 streams and map conversions. BTW, this one will only query colour. No other fields will be included into the query Hibernate produces.

Try to add All
findAllByUserCalendarUserId(Long userId);
BTW, IntelliJ IDEA provide very deep support of JPA repositories, so it's prevent a lot of possible issues when you create queries like this one

Query with dynamic schema without using string concatenation

I have a system that uses a Oracle database, with a schema that is different from the application user. The schema name itself is not known in advance, so we can't just hardcode it. It's a system property.
Most of the data access is through Hibernate, which can specify the default schema on connection so this is not a problem in those cases.
However, there are a few places where plain SQL queries are used (using spring jdbcTemplate). So right now we have something that boils down to:
Map<String,Object> result = jdbcTemplate.queryForMap("SELECT A, B, C FROM "+schema+".TABLE WHERE blablablah");
And this, of course, is an open SQL injection vulnerability. We're planning security audits and this will be flagged for sure.
So the question is: How do I specify the schema on the query, be it with jdbcTemplate, another Sprint data access utility, or even plain jdbc?
Thank you,
JGN

You can use Connection.setSchema to specify the schema for a JDBC connection. This should be done before you create the Statement to execute a SQL command.

how to dynamically query database via web?

Can you recommend on a framework which enable querying of data via web?
Requirements:
ORM capabilities - I want that the representation of the model at the server & client will not be dependent.
For example: let's say that the server will return to the client layer the following model: transaction (firstName, lastName, description, amount). While in the dal-layer it's being saved like this: Customer(Id, fName, lName, address) , Transaction(id, CustomerId, description, amount)
Option to write my own query provider (For example: HiveQL, SQL & etc).
I have tried to use the following frameworks (but it's seems like it, that the first demand is not supported):
JayData: http://jaydata.org/
breezejs: http://www.breezejs.com/
Thanks in advance.

Breeze does provide this but you will need to write the server side code that translates an OData query into a query that your chosen server implements. We already provide several implementations of this code for different server/database technologies and plan on doing more in the future.
To date we have done this for .NET servers with both Entity Framework and NHibernate ORM's and against Node servers with MongoDB backends. We also have other developers working on a Ruby server implementation. If you want to write your own, you should probably take a look at the Breeeze/MongoDB source to see how this is done.
Alternately, if your chosen server tech already has an OData provider, then Breeze can talk to it.

OData does provide a way to query database via web, such as
GET http://myservice/Products?$filter=Id gt 3 and contains(Name,'abc')
GET http://myservice/Products?$select=Id,Name,Provider&$orderby=ManufactureDate desc
Here are some odata samples https://aspnet.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#Samples/WebApi/OData/v4/. In a controller, you can use what ever framework/provider you like to retrieve data from persistence.
If you want to use Entity Framework please follow this one:https://aspnet.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#Samples/WebApi/OData/v3/ODataActionsSample/.
