I have the following SQL that I am having problems converting to HQL. A NPE is getting thrown -- which I think has something to do with the SUM function. Also, I'd like to sort on the subselect alias -- is this possible?
SQL (subselect):
SELECT q.title, q.author_id,
(SELECT IFNULL(SUM(IF(vote_up=true,1,-1)), 0)
FROM vote WHERE question_id = q.id) AS votecount
FROM question q ORDER BY votecount DESC
HQL (not working)
SELECT q,
(SELECT COALESCE(SUM(IF(v.voteUp=true,1,-1)), 0)
FROM Vote v WHERE v.question = q) AS votecount
FROM Question AS q
LEFT JOIN q.author u
LEFT JOIN u.blockedUsers ub
WHERE q.dateCreated BETWEEN :week AND :now
AND u.id NOT IN (
SELECT ub.blocked FROM UserBlock AS ub WHERE ub.blocker =:loggedInUser
)
AND (u.blockedUsers IS EMPTY OR ub.blocked !=:loggedInUser)
ORDER BY votecount DESC
