Q35. add a restriction to return the records with salary is equal to 2000
A: Criteria cr = session.createCriteria(Employee.class);
cr.add(Restrictions.eq("salary", 2000));
List results = cr.list();
--------------------------------------------------------------
Criteria cr = session.createCriteria(Employee.class);

// To get records having salary more than 2000

cr.add(Restrictions.gt("salary", 2000));

// To get records having salary less than 2000

cr.add(Restrictions.lt("salary", 2000));

// To get records having fistName starting with zara

cr.add(Restrictions.like("firstName", "zara%"));

// Case sensitive form of the above restriction.

cr.add(Restrictions.ilike("firstName", "zara%"));

// To get records having salary in between 1000 and 2000

cr.add(Restrictions.between("salary", 1000, 2000));

// To check if the given property is null

cr.add(Restrictions.isNull("salary"));

// To check if the given property is not null

cr.add(Restrictions.isNotNull("salary"));
// To check if the given property is empty
cr.add(Restrictions.isEmpty("salary"));

// To check if the given property is not empty

cr.add(Restrictions.isNotEmpty("salary"));
--------------------------------------------------------------
Q36. Identify two methods of the Criteria interface for pagination
A: 1 public Criteria setFirstResult(int firstResult)
This method takes an integer that represents the first row in your result
set, starting with row 0.
2 public Criteria setMaxResults(int maxResults)
This method tells Hibernate to retrieve a fixed number maxResults of objects.
Q37. findDirty()
This method is be called when the flush() method is called on a Session
object.
Q38. onFlushDirty()
This method is called when Hibernate detects that an object is dirty (ie.
have been changed) during a flush i.e. update operation.
