Issue
I am trying to build a complex query that involves filtering which i did it like so on JDBC:
private String buildFilteredQuery(List<Long> extensions, List<Long> categories, Long courseId) {
...
StringBuilder extensionQuery = new StringBuilder();
if (!extensions.isEmpty()) {
extensionQuery.append("AND (");
extensions.forEach(e -> extensionQuery.append("fileExtensionId = ? OR "));
extensionQuery.delete(extensionQuery.length() - 4, extensionQuery.length());
extensionQuery.append(")");
}
...
}
The problem is that now over JPA i can't really do this since instead of the ? i should put the variable to be mapped (e.g :fileExtension )
So how can i build a dynamic query that takes dynamic parameters to it?
Solution
Like @Guillaume said, i ended up only using one stament with an IN clause:
private String buildFilteredQuery(List<Long> extensions, List<Long> categories, Long courseId) {
...
StringBuilder query = new StringBuilder();
if (!extensions.isEmpty()) query.append("AND ( fileExtensionId IN ( :extensionIds ) ) ");
...
}
