Hi All, I've just started workign with Hibernate and have run into something which looks like it used to have a (partial) solution to at: http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=463&highlight=createsqlquery
Which shows the following : "Query q = session.createSQLQuery( "select {e}.empno as {e.empno}, {e}.firstnme as {e.firstnme}, {e}.lastname as {e.lastname} from employee {e}", "e", Employee.class );" I haven't been able to find this method in the current javadocs at http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/api/net/sf/hibernate/Session.html At the above link - it's possible to execute SQL directly using a createSQLQuery method, what I'd like to do is to do an insert based on a String value, for example, if I had a DB table with columns long [id], coulmn_1[char[10]], and column_2[char[10]], that I could do a direct "INSERT INTO tdb_table (column_1) VALUES ('hello');" Where 'column_1' would be a parameter, or even better still is there hsql available to do an insert? I've checked the documentation (http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/reference/pdf/hibernate_reference.pdf ) and couldn't find anythign referencing inserts apart from via object setting. Another issue I can see, is if this is possible, is what effect does running SQL statements have on the hibernate cache, is it possible to let hibernate know it's cache is out of date? Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks, Oisin Oisin Kim Aurium Tel: +353 1 6611132 Fax: +353 1 6615200 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web site: http://www.aurium.net ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ hibernate-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hibernate-devel
