Java Hibernate HQL queries with nolock

Question

Is there a way to run these queries as if I added a (NOLOCK) hint to them?

Answer 1

You can do the "with (nolock)" if you go native. This is extreme but if the alternative is changing the transaction isolation level, you might rather do this.

Note that this example is for MSSQL.

String sqlQueryString = "SELECT * FROM my_classes_table WITH (nolock) WHERE columnName = :columnValue";

SQLQuery sqlQuery= session.createSQLQuery(sqlQueryString).addEntity(MyClass.class);
sqlQuery.setLong("columnValue", value);
List out = sqlQuery.list();
