| Calculations of field values using other tables [message #390286] |

Hello,
is it possible to calculate a fields value using a SQL statement?
I have a progress and a status field that would have to be calculated by
values from another table.
OrderEntity {
float progress;
int shortageLines;
}
The shortageLines field would be calculated by the number of line items
from the line_items table that have been picked with a shortage. The
progress field is the overal % of already picked line items versus the
total number of line items to pick.
Any idea if something like that is possible to "inject" into the object
using JPA?
Thanks,
Phil

What you mean by that? How would I annotate that or create this query?

I am doing that right now, it might be the most performant solution.
But anyway I am interested, in case the DB does not support views, how I
would use a TransformationMapping in my particular case. Do you have an
example of that for me?
Thanks,
Phil
