how to use NOT LIKE in HQL?

I have a entity as below

public class Employee implements Serializable {


@Id
@Column(name = "EMPSEQ")
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long empSeq;
@Column(name = "EMPID")
private String empId;
@Column(name = "WINDOWSLOGINID")
private String logInId;

// assume respective getter and setter methods
}

I want to query all row where logInId does not start with “5”

I tried below code:

query = session.createQuery("select * from Employee e where e.logInId not like 5%");

the above code didn’t work. what is the right way to use NOT LIKE in HQL

Answer

In your query there’s an error:

query = session.createQuery("select * from Employee e where e.logInId not like 5%");

become:

query = session.createQuery("select * from Employee e where e.logInId not like '5%'");

e.logInId is string, so you must quote your condition 5%.
