使用Criteria或HQL的优点和缺点是什么?Criteria API是一种在Hibernate中表达查询的面向对象的好方法,但有时Criteria queries比HQL更难理解/构建。

什么时候使用标准,什么时候使用HQL?在哪些用例中您更喜欢什么?还是说这只是个人口味的问题?

还有另一种方法。我最终创建了一个基于hibernate原始语法的HQL解析器,这样它就可以首先解析HQL,然后动态地注入动态参数或自动为HQL查询添加一些通用过滤器。效果很好!

对于动态查询,我更喜欢使用条件查询。例如,根据某些参数,动态地添加一些排序或保留一些部分(例如限制)要容易得多。

另一方面,我使用HQL进行静态和复杂的查询,因为它更容易理解/阅读HQL。此外,我认为HQL更强大一些,例如对于不同的连接类型。

对于动态查询,我也更喜欢使用条件查询。但我更喜欢hql删除查询,例如,如果从父id 'xyz'的子表中删除所有记录,这很容易由hql实现,但对于标准API,首先我们必须触发n个删除查询,其中n是子表记录的数量。

Criteria是一个面向对象的API,而HQL意味着字符串连接。这意味着面向对象的所有好处都适用:

All else being equal, the OO version is somewhat less prone to error. Any old string could get appended into the HQL query, whereas only valid Criteria objects can make it into a Criteria tree. Effectively, the Criteria classes are more constrained. With auto-complete, the OO is more discoverable (and thus easier to use, for me at least). You don't necessarily need to remember which parts of the query go where; the IDE can help you You also don't need to remember the particulars of the syntax (like which symbols go where). All you need to know is how to call methods and create objects.

由于HQL非常像SQL(大多数开发人员已经非常了解SQL),因此这些“不必记住”参数就没有那么重要了。如果HQL有更大的不同,那么这就更重要了。

HQL和criteriaQuery在性能上是有区别的,每次你使用criteriaQuery发起查询时,它会为表名创建一个新的别名,这个别名不会反映在任何DB的最后一个查询缓存中。这会导致编译生成的SQL的开销,需要更多的时间来执行。

关于抓取策略[http://www.hibernate.org/315.html]

Criteria respects the laziness settings in your mappings and guarantees that what you want loaded is loaded. This means one Criteria query might result in several SQL immediate SELECT statements to fetch the subgraph with all non-lazy mapped associations and collections. If you want to change the "how" and even the "what", use setFetchMode() to enable or disable outer join fetching for a particular collection or association. Criteria queries also completely respect the fetching strategy (join vs select vs subselect). HQL respects the laziness settings in your mappings and guarantees that what you want loaded is loaded. This means one HQL query might result in several SQL immediate SELECT statements to fetch the subgraph with all non-lazy mapped associations and collections. If you want to change the "how" and even the "what", use LEFT JOIN FETCH to enable outer-join fetching for a particular collection or nullable many-to-one or one-to-one association, or JOIN FETCH to enable inner join fetching for a non-nullable many-to-one or one-to-one association. HQL queries do not respect any fetch="join" defined in the mapping document.

Criteria api提供了一个SQL和HQL都不提供的独特特性。ie。它允许对查询进行编译时检查。
