Java hibernate on sql statement

Question

Hi,
Does anyone know how to execute a plain sql statement using hibernate? In otherwords, I would like to pass in a sql string, and use a hibernate command ( api ) to execute that sql string.
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

I would like to query all the record form a view, say, allRecord. Here is my mapping file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd" >
<hibernate-mapping >
<sql-query name="mySqlQuery">
<return alias="yr" class="com.org.forms.AllRecordForm"/>
SELECT *
FROM AllRecord
</sql-query></hibernate-mapping>
Where AllRecordForm is the form for the view AllRecord in the database. Can you tell me where I did wrong? I got Unknown entity: com.org.forms.AllRecordForm error.
thanks again.
