Using Easy-Query ORM for Strongly Typed OLTP and OLAP Queries in Java

This article introduces Easy-Query, a Java ORM that offers strong‑typed OLTP and OLAP query capabilities, demonstrates how to define entity classes with many‑to‑many and one‑to‑one relationships, and provides multiple code examples for complex queries, DTO generation, and automatic inclusion of related data.

Using Easy-Query ORM for Strongly Typed OLTP and OLAP Queries in Java

Easy-Query is a Java ORM that provides strong‑typed OLTP and OLAP query capabilities, allowing developers to write type‑safe queries without writing raw SQL.

It supports many‑to‑many and one‑to‑one relationships, automatic joins, and can generate SQL for complex queries such as filtering users by city, selecting specific fields, counting related entities, and applying aggregate functions.

Entity definitions (excerpt):

@Table("t_user")
@Data
@EntityProxy
public class SysUser implements ProxyEntityAvailable
{
@Column(primaryKey = true)
private String id;
private String name;
private LocalDateTime createTime;
@Navigate(value = RelationTypeEnum.ManyToMany, mappingClass = UserRole.class, selfMappingProperty = "userId", targetMappingProperty = "roleId")
private List
roles;
@Navigate(value = RelationTypeEnum.OneToOne, targetProperty = "userId")
private SysUserAddress address;
@Override
public Class
proxyTableClass() {
return SysUserProxy.class;
}
}
@Table("t_role")
@Data
@EntityProxy
public class SysRole implements ProxyEntityAvailable
{
@Column(primaryKey = true)
private String id;
private String name;
private LocalDateTime createTime;
@Navigate(value = RelationTypeEnum.ManyToMany, mappingClass = UserRole.class, selfMappingProperty = "roleId", targetMappingProperty = "userId")
private List
users;
@Navigate(value = RelationTypeEnum.ManyToMany, mappingClass = RoleMenu.class, selfMappingProperty = "roleId", targetMappingProperty = "menuId")
private List
menus;
@Override
public Class
proxyTableClass() {
return SysRoleProxy.class;
}
}

Query examples:

Query users in Hangzhou or Shaoxing:

List
userInHz = easyEntityQuery.queryable(SysUser.class)
.where(s -> {
s.or(() -> {
s.address().city().eq("杭州市");
s.address().city().eq("绍兴市");
});
}).toList();

Corresponding SQL:

SELECT `id`, `name`, `create_time` FROM `t_user` t
LEFT JOIN `t_user_address` t1 ON t1.`user_id` = t.`id`
WHERE (t1.`city` = '杭州市' OR t1.`city` = '绍兴市');

Query a user named "小明" and return his name and address:

List
> userNameAndAddr = easyEntityQuery.queryable(SysUser.class)
.where(s -> s.name().eq("小明"))
.select(s -> Select.DRAFT.of(s.name(), s.address().addr()))
.toList();

Query a user named "小明" and also return the count of his roles:

List
> userNameAndAddrAndRoleCount = easyEntityQuery.queryable(SysUser.class)
.where(s -> s.name().eq("小明"))
.select(s -> Select.DRAFT.of(s.name(), s.address().addr(), s.roles().count()))
.toList();

Other cases demonstrate filtering by role name, counting roles, using aggregate functions like MAX, and pagination of related collections.

DTO generation with EasyQueryAssistant:

The IDE plugin can generate structured DTO classes that map the entity hierarchy automatically.

@Data
public class UserRoleMenuDTO {
private String id;
private String name;
@Navigate(value = RelationTypeEnum.ManyToMany)
private List
roles;
public static class InternalRoles {
private String id;
private String name;
@Navigate(value = RelationTypeEnum.ManyToMany)
private List
menus;
}
public static class InternalMenus {
private String id;
private String name;
private String route;
private String icon;
}
}

Using selectAutoInclude the generated DTO can be populated directly:

List
result = easyEntityQuery.queryable(SysUser.class)
.where(u -> {
u.name().like("小明");
u.createTime().rangeClosed(LocalDateTime.now().minusDays(100), LocalDateTime.now());
})
.selectAutoInclude(UserRoleMenuDTO.class)
.toList();

Overall, Easy-Query demonstrates a powerful, zero‑dependency, fully open‑source solution for both OLTP and OLAP scenarios in Java, supporting complex joins, aggregates, and automatic DTO mapping.
