Spring Data JPA JpaRepository deleteAllInBatch()

In this tutorial, we will see about Spring Data JPA JpaRepository deleteAllInBatch() Example using Spring Boot and Oracle.

The deleteAllInBatch() method is defined in the JpaRepository interface as below.

void deleteAllInBatch()

Using deleteAllInBatch() method we can delete all entities from database. No need to pass entities as parameters.For example, let’s say we have an entity Student.java and also we have a corresponding repository class called StudentRepository.java something like below.

package com.javatute.repository;

@Repository
public interface StudentRepository extends JpaRepository<Student, Serializable> {

}

If we want to delete all student records we need to do studentRepository.deleteAllInBatch().  See the below sample code.

	@Transactional
	public void deleteAllInBatch() {
		studentRepository.deleteAllInBatch();
	}

Note – Internally deleteAllInBatch()   uses createQuery() method as below.

	public void deleteAllInBatch() {
		em.createQuery(getDeleteAllQueryString()).executeUpdate();
	}

In case of deleteAllInBatch() the query will generate as below.

Hibernate: delete from student

Note – We will see a complete example for JpaRepository deleteAllInBatch() method but before going ahead let’s see how it is different from CrudRepository deleteAll() method. Both deleteAll() and deleteAllInBatch() use to delete all entities. The deleteAll() internally uses CrudRepository delete() method which further uses EntityManger remove() method which perform a lot of stuff. But in case of deleteAllInBatch(), EntityManger createQuery() method will preapare the query and it will directly call executeUpdate() method.

Let’s see an example of Spring Data JPA JpaRepository deleteAllInBatch() Method.

Open eclipse and create maven project, Don’t forget to check ‘Create a simple project (skip)’ click on next.  Fill all details(GroupId – springdatadeleteallinbatch, ArtifactId – springdatadeleteallinbatch and name – springdatadeleteallinbatch) and click on finish. Keep packaging as the jar.

Modify pom.xml

Note – In pom.xml we have defined javac.exe path in configuration tag. You need to change accordingly i.e where you have installed JDK.

If you see any error for oracle dependency then follow these steps.
