Re: [eclipselink-users] Lazy loading performance problem

Hello Warren,

Can you describe the relationships you have from ChoiceQuestions? Is there a reason why you are using a query with pagination to read in the questions instead of just accessing the relationship on the particular Exam?

Some options: If you do not need to use the relationships from the ChoiceQuestion, you can mark them as lazy so they are only queried when needed. A second option is to not map the relationships from the ChoiceQuestion side and instead query for them when needed (as you are doing with the Exam->Questions already).

A third option is to break up the ChoiceQuestion query into chunks, or to read in all the ChoiceQuestion pks and then read in the full objects a bunch at a time. Ie, "select questions from ExamPaper p join p.questions questions where p.id=:paperId and mod(questions.id, 2) = :split"
Or
"select questions.id from ExamPaper p join p.questions questions where p.id=:paperId" then "select questions from ChoiceQuestions questions where questions.id in(:listOfIds)" This would allow you to use joining or batching on any relationships in ChoiceQuestion.

Best Regards,
Chris

But fetch join on OneToMany/ManyToMany relationship has problems with
pagination.

The problem seems to be called N+1 select problem. I searched hard but
could found a solution.

It's a problem everyone faces, right? How do you solve it?

Hello.

I think you can do this with a fetch join like:
SELECT pub FROM Publisher pub JOIN pub.magazines mag

Hi, everybody

I have an ExamPaper entity which has many ChoiceQuestions. The
questions are lazy loaded by default (fetch=LAZY).

Now I want to get all the quesitions that belong to a specific
ExamPaper, so I use the following JPQL:

"select p.questions from ExamPaper p where p.id=:paperId";

The problem is that questions are "lazy" loaded, so there is one
"SELECT" executed for *every single* question. But I want to select
them all in one go for performance reasons. What should I do?

------------------ Code listing -----------------------------------

@Entity
public class ExamPaper {
public static final String SELECT_QUESTION_BY_PAPER = "select
p.questions from ExamPaper p where p.id=:paperId";

@Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
private String name;
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, orphanRemoval = true, cascade =
{CascadeType.ALL})
List<ChoiceQuestion> questions;

... ...
}

query = em.createQuery(ExamPaper.SELECT_QUESTION_BY_PAPER,
ChoiceQuestion.class);
query.setParameter("paperId", examPaperId);
query.setFirstResult(startPosition);
query.setMaxResults(maxResult);
list = query.getResultList();
