8 The examples on this page are using deprecated search APIs (##$xwiki.searchDocuments## and ##$xwiki.search##). If you want to query the XWiki database then you should use the [[Query Module>>extensions:Extension.Query Module]] instead. If you want to perform a full text search on the XWiki model then you can use the [[Solr Search API>>extensions:Extension.Solr Search Query API]].

Jean-Vincent Drean 23.3 11 XWiki allows user to access documents and objects with [[HQL>>http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/core/reference/en/html/queryhql.html]] queries in [[Velocity>>http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/docs/user-guide.html]] scripts.

Vincent Massol 21.1 31 The examples below will show you various HQL queries that you can write.
32
Vincent Massol 15.1 33 === Simple Query ===
34
Vincent Massol 21.1 35 Displays all documents who have been created by the user ##XWiki.JohnDoe##:
Jean-Vincent Drean 1.3 36
Vincent Massol 21.1 37 {{code language="none"}}
38 #set($hql = "where doc.creator='XWiki.JohnDoe'")
39 {{/code}}
40
Vincent Massol 15.1 41 === Ordered Query ===
42
Vincent Massol 21.1 43 Displays all documents who have been created by the user ##XWiki.JohnDoe## and sorted by document's last modification date, in ascending order:
Jean-Vincent Drean 1.21 44
Vincent Massol 21.1 45 {{code language="none"}}
46 #set($hql = "where doc.creator='XWiki.VincentMassol' order by doc.date asc")
47 {{/code}}
48
Vincent Massol 15.1 49 === Advanced Query (date & time) ===
Jean-Vincent Drean 1.35 50
flavius 27.1 51 {{velocity}}
52 {{html wiki="true"}}
Vincent Massol 21.1 53 #info("Since there is no [[standard way to calculate dates interval in HQL>>http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2434]] those queries are a bit unnatural.")

Jean-Vincent Drean 1.21 56
Vincent Massol 21.1 57 {{code language="none"}}
58 #set($hql = "where year(doc.date) = year(current_date()) and month(doc.date) = month(current_date()) and day(doc.date) = day(current_date()) and hour(doc.date) > (hour(current_time()) - 1) order by doc.date desc")

62 === Query documents older than 3 days ===
63
64 The following snippet deletes all documents in the space TempDocs that are older than 3 days.
65 For the computation of the relative age, a calendar object created by the $datetool is used and passed to the hibernate query. Tested with MySQL only.
66
67 {{code language="none"}}
68 #set($hql="select doc.fullName from XWikiDocument as doc where doc.web = ? and doc.creationDate < ? ")
69 #set($cal = $datetool.systemCalendar)$cal.add(7,-3)
70 #set($olderTempDocs=$xwiki.search($hql,5000, 0, ["TempdDocs",$datetool.toDate($cal)]))
71 #foreach($x in $olderTempDocs)$xwiki.getDocument($x).deleteWithProgrammingRights()#end
