Hibernate version:3.2

I have a Criteria object where the criteria is based on Query By Example (QBE):



How do I create a query that will return the count of records, rather than the actual records themselves?

Thanks,

try:

Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(MyClass.class);
criteria.setProjection( Projections.rowCount() );
Integer count = (Integer)criteria.uniqueResult();

Check out projections in hibernate doc for more on this

Many thanks. That was just what I needed.
