Hi,

Below SQL is working perfectly....

String sqlString = "UPDATE employee SET employee_status = EXISTS (SELECT employee_status "
+ "FROM company WHERE employee_id=" + employeeId + " AND employee_status = TRUE) where "
+ "employee_id= " + employeeId;
Query query = currentSession().createSQLQuery(sqlString);

When i converted the above SQL query to below HQL query

Query query = currentSession()
.createQuery(
"UPDATE Employee SET employeeStatus = EXISTS (SELECT employeeStatus "
+ "FROM Company WHERE employeeId =:employeeId AND employeeStatus = :employeeStatus) where "
+ "employeeId = :employeeId");
query.setParameter("employeeStatus", true);
query.setParameter("employeeId", employeeId);

Getting the following exception

<AST>:1:79: unexpected AST node: EXISTS
<AST>:1:79: unexpected AST node: EXISTS

at org.hibernate.hql.internal.antlr.HqlSqlBaseWalker.statement(HqlSqlBaseWalker.java:255)
at org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.QueryTranslatorImpl.analyze(QueryTranslatorImpl.java:249)

could someone help me with the correct HQL query ??? Please let me know my mistakes in the HQL Query.

Thanks.
