I need to bring from DB only one single result. How can I do that with JPA?

Select top 1 * from table 

I tried

"select t from table t"

query.setMaxResults(1);  query.getSingleResult(); 

but didn't work. Any other ideas?

How do you limit records in JPA?

JPA Setup In our repository method, we use the EntityManager to create a Query on which we call the setMaxResults() method. This call to Query#setMaxResults will eventually result in the limit statement appended to the generated SQL: select passenger0_.id as id1_15_, passenger0_.

Can we use limit in JPQL?

JPQL does not provide a mechanism to limit queries. This is most often achieved by using the setMaxResults() method on the Query . If you must avoid specifying this in Java code, you could make a view in the database that contains your query and performs the limit.

Can JPA return results as a map?

If a given JPA GROUP BY query returns only two columns where one is unique, it's very suitable to return the result as a Java Map. For this, you can use either the Java Stream functionality or the Hibernate-specific ResultTransformer .

What is findById in JPA?

Its findById method retrieves an entity by its id. The return value is Optional<T> . Optional<T> is a container object which may or may not contain a non-null value. If a value is present, isPresent returns true and get returns the value.

Try like this

String sql = "SELECT t FROM table t"; Query query = em.createQuery(sql); query.setFirstResult(firstPosition); query.setMaxResults(numberOfRecords); List result = query.getResultList(); 

It should work

UPDATE*

You can also try like this

query.setMaxResults(1).getResultList();

To use getSingleResult on a TypedQuery you can use

query.setFirstResult(0); query.setMaxResults(1); result = query.getSingleResult();
