String hql = \"FROM Employee\";
Query query = session.createQuery(hql);
List results = query.list(         


        

Answer 1

This works, other answers have a problem for modern versions of hibernate:

String hqlQueryString = query.unwrap(org.hibernate.Query.class).getQueryString();
ASTQueryTranslatorFactory queryTranslatorFactory = new ASTQueryTranslatorFactory();
SessionImplementor hibernateSession = entityManager.unwrap(SessionImplementor.class);
QueryTranslator queryTranslator = queryTranslatorFactory.createQueryTranslator("", hqlQueryString, java.util.Collections.EMPTY_MAP, hibernateSession.getFactory(), null);
queryTranslator.compile(java.util.Collections.EMPTY_MAP, false);
String sqlQueryString = queryTranslator.getSQLString();
