5 = HQL Query Examples in Velocity =
6
7 XWiki allows user to access documents and objects with [[HQL>>http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/core/reference/en/html/queryhql.html]] queries in [[Velocity>>http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/docs/user-guide.html]] scripts.
8
9 == Public API (##searchDocuments##) ==
10
11 {{velocity}}
12 {{html}}
13 #info("With this API the query consist in the WHERE condition of a full HQL query. Any user with edit rights can write a script using this API. Any user with view rights can view the result of such a query.")

16
17 General example showing how to display the first 5 results of a given query:
18
19 {{code language="none"}}
20 #set($hql = "<query here>")
21 #set($results = $xwiki.searchDocuments($hql, 5, 0))
22 #foreach ($item in $results)
23 * $item
24 #end
25 {{/code}}
26
27 The examples below will show you various HQL queries that you can write.
28
29 === Simple Query ===
30
31 Displays all documents who have been created by the user ##XWiki.JohnDoe##:
32
33 {{code language="none"}}
34 #set($hql = "where doc.creator='XWiki.JohnDoe'")
35 {{/code}}
36
37 === Ordered Query ===
38
39 Displays all documents who have been created by the user ##XWiki.JohnDoe## and sorted by document's last modification date, in ascending order:
40
41 {{code language="none"}}
42 #set($hql = "where doc.creator='XWiki.VincentMassol' order by doc.date asc")
43 {{/code}}
44
45 === Advanced Query (date & time) ===
46
47 {{velocity}}
48 {{html wiki="true"}}
49 #info("Since there is no [[standard way to calculate dates interval in HQL>>http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2434]] those queries are a bit unnatural.")
50 {{/html}}
51 {{/velocity}}
52
53 {{code language="none"}}
54 #set($hql = "where year(doc.date) = year(current_date()) and month(doc.date) = month(current_date()) and day(doc.date) = day(current_date()) and hour(doc.date) > (hour(current_time()) - 1) order by doc.date desc")
55 {{/code}}
56
57 Other examples:
58
59 * Listing all documents modified during the current day: {{code language="none"}}where year(doc.date) = year(current_date()) and month(doc.date) = month(current_date()) and day(doc.date) > (day(current_date()) - 1) order by doc.date desc{{/code}}
60 * Listing all documents modified during the current week: {{code language="none"}}where year(doc.date) = year(current_date()) and month(doc.date) = month(current_date()) and day(doc.date) > (day(current_date()) - 7) order by doc.date desc{{/code}}
61 * Listing all documents modified during the current month: {{code language="none"}}where year(doc.date) = year(current_date()) and month(doc.date) > (month(current_date()) - 1) order by doc.date desc{{/code}}
62
63 == Privileged API (##search##) ==
64
65 {{velocity}}
66 {{html wiki="true"}}
67 #warning("Calls to the privileged API are only executed when the calling page has been saved by a user with **Programming Rights**. The reason is that search can be used to send dangerous HQL command like update, delete, etc.")

71 General example showing how to display the first 5 results of a given query:
72
73 {{code language="none"}}
74 #set($hql = "<query here>")
75 #set($results = $xwiki.search($hql, 5, 0))
76 #foreach ($item in $results)
77 * $item
78 #end
79 {{/code}}

81 The examples below will show you various HQL queries that you can write.
82
83 === Simple Query ===
84
85 {{code language="none"}}
86 #set($hql = "select doc.name from XWikiDocument doc")
87 {{/code}}
88
89 === Count Query ===
90
91 {{code language="none"}}
92 #set($results = $xwiki.search("select count(doc) from XWikiDocument doc"))
93 ## Since $xwiki.search is returning a list, we get its first element
94 Count : $results.get(0)
95 {{/code}}
96
97 === Simple Query with multiple fields ===
98
99 {{code language="none"}}
100 #set($results = $xwiki.search("select doc.name, doc.date from XWikiDocument doc", 5, 0))
101 #foreach ($row in $results)
102 #foreach ($col in $row)
103 #if ($velocityCount == 1)
104 #set($docName = $col)
105 #elseif ($velocityCount == 2)
106 #set($docDate = $col)
