Hello,

I was going through hibenate documentation and found that it is possible to return map from HQL by using code:

select new map( max(bodyWeight) as max, min(bodyWeight) as min, count(*) as n )
from Cat cat


But I am not able to understand when I execute query how to get map and use alias for retrieving each column.

The method for getting results are either query.list of query.iterate.
Which function to call if I need to get result as map and how to retrieve each column from map using alias.

Thanks
