Question

I have a column in mysql “description ”
which value is like “this is a description of some of the products we have the list of the products is big enough..”

now i want to retrieve it from mysql in to java but only first 10 characters with hibernate criteria

from below i can get this above value from mysql ,but i just want to get only first 10 like “”this is a description of some of the products” not more than this

any way of doing it in hibernate .

    Patients patients = null;
    session = sessionFactory.openSession();
    Criteria crit = session.createCriteria(Patients.class);

    List rsList = crit.list();
    for(Iterator it=rsList.iterator(); it.hasNext();)
    {
        patients = (Patients)it.next();

One way of doing this is to create a NamedQuery and create a select statement with something like this : select left(<mycolumn>,10) as <myColumn10> from <mytable>

then you call this NamedQuery from your code.
Here is an example on how to use a NamedQuery: NameQuery Example
