Hibernate HQL Sub Select (Subconsultas)

Para bases de datos que soportan subconsultas, Hibernate soporta subconsultas dentro de consultas. Una subconsulta se debe encerrar entre paréntesis (frecuentemente por una llamada a una función de agregación SQL). Incluso se permiten subconsultas correlacionadas (subconsultas que se refieren a un alias en la consulta exterior).

from Cat as fatcat
where fatcat.weight 
> (
    select avg(cat.weight) from DomesticCat cat
)

from DomesticCat as cat
where cat.name = some (
    select name.nickName from Name as name
)

from Cat as cat
where not exists (
    from Cat as mate where mate.mate = cat
)

from DomesticCat as cat
where cat.name not in (
    select name.nickName from Name as name
)

select cat.id, (select max(kit.weight) from cat.kitten kit)
from Cat as cat

Note que las subconsultas HQL pueden ocurrir sólamente en las cláusulas select o where.
