SpringData JPA

The document discusses the basics of JPA annotations in Spring Data. It explains common annotations like @Entity, @Id, @OneToOne, @ManyToMany, and @JoinTable that are used to define entities and relationships in JPA. The annotations are used to map classes to tables and fields to columns in a database.

@Entity
This annotation marks a class as a JPA entity,
representing a table in the database. It is a
fundamental building block for Spring Data JPA.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@Repository
Indicates that an interface or class is a repository,
responsible for database operations. It allows for
exception translation and simplifies data access.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@Id
Used to specify the primary key of an entity. It
marks a field as the unique identifier for database
records.

@Generated
Value
Works in conjunction with @Id to automatically
generate a value for the primary key. It's
commonly used with numeric primary key
columns.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@Table
Provides metadata about the table associated
with the annotated entity. It allows customization
of table names, schema, and other properties.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@Column
Specifies the details of a column in a database
table. It allows customization of column names,
lengths, and other attributes.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@Query
Used to declare custom queries directly on the
repository interface. It allows the definition of
complex queries beyond the methods
automatically provided by Spring Data.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@OneToOne
Establishes a one-to-one relationship between
two entities. It is used to annotate a field in one
entity that references another entity. This implies
that each record in the first entity corresponds to
exactly one record in the second entity, and vice
versa.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@OneToMany
Defines a one-to-many relationship between two
entities. Typically, it's applied to a collection field
in one entity, indicating that each record in the
owning entity can be related to multiple records in
the referenced entity.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@ManyToOne
Represents a many-to-one relationship between
two entities. Applied to a field in the owning
entity, it signifies that multiple records in the
owning entity can refer to a single record in the
referenced entity.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@ManyToMany
Establishes a many-to-many relationship between
two entities. It is applied to a collection field in
both entities, indicating that each record in one
entity can be associated with multiple records in
the other entity, and vice versa.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@JoinColumn
Used to specify the foreign key column when
there is a need to customize the mapping of a
relationship. It is often used with @OneToOne and
@ManyToOne to explicitly define the foreign key
column name and other attributes.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@JoinTable
Defines a join table for a many-to-many
relationship. It is often used with @ManyToMany
to specify the intermediate table that manages
the relationship, including the columns used for
joining entities.

Ivan Franchin
@ivanfranchin
@MappedBy
Used in bidirectional relationships to specify the
field on the inverse side of the relationship that
owns the mapping. It is typically used with
@OneToMany and @ManyToMany to avoid the
creation of redundant columns.
