Leverage AI2SQL to transform plain English descriptions into optimized database queries for Spring Boot applications. Save time by generating JPA repository methods, JPQL, Criteria API, and native SQL queries with ease.

Start building efficient queries at Spring Boot SQL AI.

How It Works

  1. Visit AI2SQL.

  2. Select Spring Boot as your framework.

  3. Enter your query description in natural language.

  4. Instantly receive JPA or SQL code tailored for your use case.

Example Queries

1. JPA Repository Methods

Natural Language: "Find active users who registered in the last 30 days."

// Generated Repository Method
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {
    List<User> findByActiveAndCreatedAtAfter(
        boolean active, 
        LocalDateTime date
    );
}

// Usage
@Service
public class UserService {
    @Autowired
    private UserRepository userRepository;
    
    public List<User> getRecentActiveUsers() {
        return userRepository.findByActiveAndCreatedAtAfter(
            true, 
            LocalDateTime.now().minusDays(30)
        );
    }
}

2. JPQL Queries

Natural Language: "Get orders with their items and customer details, total over $100."

// Generated JPQL Query
@Query("""
    SELECT DISTINCT o FROM Order o
    JOIN FETCH o.orderItems i
    JOIN FETCH o.customer c
    WHERE (SELECT SUM(oi.price * oi.quantity) 
           FROM OrderItem oi 
           WHERE oi.order = o) > 100
    ORDER BY o.createdAt DESC
""")
List<Order> findOrdersWithItemsAndCustomer();

3. Criteria API

Natural Language: "Find products with low inventory and high demand."

// Generated Criteria API Query
public List<Product> findLowStockHighDemandProducts(LocalDateTime since, int threshold) {
    CriteriaBuilder cb = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
    CriteriaQuery<Product> cq = cb.createQuery(Product.class);
    Root<Product> product = cq.from(Product.class);
    Join<Product, Inventory> inventory = product.join("inventory", JoinType.LEFT);
    Subquery<Long> demandCount = cq.subquery(Long.class);
    Root<OrderItem> orderItem = demandCount.from(OrderItem.class);

    demandCount.select(cb.count(orderItem))
        .where(cb.equal(orderItem.get("product"), product),
               cb.greaterThanOrEqualTo(orderItem.get("createdAt"), since));
    
    cq.select(product)
        .where(cb.and(
            cb.lessThanOrEqualTo(inventory.get("stockLevel"), inventory.get("reorderPoint")),
            cb.greaterThanOrEqualTo(demandCount, threshold)
        ));
    
    return entityManager.createQuery(cq).getResultList();
}

Key Features

1. Query Types

  • JPA repository methods

  • JPQL for concise object queries

  • Criteria API for dynamic and complex queries

  • Native SQL for direct database interaction

2. Advanced Optimizations

  • Suggests fetch strategies to avoid N+1 queries.

  • Includes index recommendations for better performance.

  • Generates queries with proper pagination and sorting.

3. Developer-Friendly

  • Compatible with Spring Boot 2.x and 3.x.

  • Generates code adhering to Spring conventions.

  • Easily integrates with custom repository implementations.

Common Use Cases

1. Sales Analysis

Natural Language: "Show monthly sales totals with year-over-year comparison."

@Query("""
    SELECT new com.example.dto.SalesReport(
        FUNCTION('DATE_FORMAT', o.createdAt, '%Y-%m') as month,
        SUM(o.totalAmount) as revenue,
        COUNT(o) as orderCount
    )
    FROM Order o
    WHERE o.createdAt >= :startDate
    GROUP BY month
    ORDER BY month DESC
""")
List<SalesReport> getMonthlySalesReport(LocalDateTime startDate);

2. Dynamic Filtering

Natural Language: "Find orders matching multiple dynamic criteria."

// Specification for dynamic filtering
public class OrderSpecifications {
    public static Specification<Order> withDynamicCriteria(
            LocalDateTime startDate,
            LocalDateTime endDate,
            String status,
            BigDecimal minAmount) {
        
        return (root, query, cb) -> {
            List<Predicate> predicates = new ArrayList<>();
            
            if (startDate != null && endDate != null) {
                predicates.add(cb.between(
                    root.get("createdAt"), 
                    startDate, 
                    endDate
                ));
            }
            
            if (status != null) {
                predicates.add(cb.equal(
                    root.get("status"), 
                    OrderStatus.valueOf(status)
                ));
            }
            
            if (minAmount != null) {
                predicates.add(cb.greaterThanOrEqualTo(
                    root.get("totalAmount"), 
                    minAmount
                ));
            }
            
            return cb.and(predicates.toArray(new Predicate[0]));
        };
    }
}

Best Practices for Spring Boot Queries

1. Optimize Fetch Strategies

  • Use fetch = FetchType.LAZY for associations to load data only when needed.

  • Apply JOIN FETCH in JPQL queries for eager loading.

2. Use Specifications for Complex Filtering

Simplify query logic by creating reusable specifications.

3. Monitor Query Performance

  • Enable Hibernate’s SQL logs for debugging.

  • Use profiling tools like JPA Buddy or Spring Actuator.
