java - How to create a JPA query with LEFT OUTER JOIN

Question

I am starting to learn JPA, and have implemented an example with JPA query, based on the following native SQL that I tested in SQL Server:

SELECT f.StudentID, f.Name, f.Age, f.Class1, f.Class2 
FROM Student f 
    LEFT OUTER JOIN ClassTbl s ON s.ClassID = f.Class1 OR s.ClassID = f.Class2
WHERE s.ClassName = 'abc'

From the above SQL I have constructed the following JPQL query:

SELECT f FROM Student f LEFT JOIN f.Class1 s;

As you can see, I still lack the condition OR s.ClassID = f.Class2 from my original query. My question is, how can I put it into my JPQL?

Answer 1

Write this;

 SELECT f from Student f LEFT JOIN f.classTbls s WHERE s.ClassName = 'abc'

Because your Student entity has One To Many relationship with ClassTbl entity.
