Question

I have schools, which contains groups, which contains students.

I would like to remove all students from specific school.

In SQL I can write the following query:

DELETE FROM students1 
WHERE students1.group_id IN 
      (SELECT id FROM group1 WHERE group1.school_id = :school_id)

How to transform this SQL query to Hibernate HQL?

I use H2 database engine.

(My real query is more complex and simple cascade deletion of school is not suitable for me).

Answer 1

The working script follows:

DELETE FROM Student AS s
WHERE s IN
    (SELECT s FROM Student AS s WHERE s.group IN
        (SELECT g FROM Group AS g WHERE g.school IN
            (SELECT s FROM School s WHERE s.id = :schoolId)))
