Aggregate Functions(avg(...), sum(...), min(...), max(...))

Hibernate supports multiple aggregate functions. When they are used in HQL queries, they return an aggregate value ( such as avg(…), sum(…), min(…), max(…) , count(*), count(…), count(distinct …), count(all…) ) calculated from property values of all objects satisfying other query criteria.

Queries:
For max()
“SELECT MAX(rollNumber) FROM Student student”
For min():
“SELECT MIN(rollNumber) FROM Student student”

  String SQL_QUERY = "SELECT MAX(rollNumber) FROM Student student";
  Query query = session.createQuery(SQL_QUERY);
    
  for(Iterator it=query.iterate();it.hasNext();)
  {
   Long row = (Long) it.next();
   System.out.print("MAX ROLL NUMBER: " + row);
  }
  session.getTransaction().commit();
  session.close();
 }
}

Output:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.Version).

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Hibernate: select MAX(student0_.ROLL_NUMBER) as col_0_0_ from STUDENT student0_
MAX ROLL NUMBER: 8

For min() function
