Overview SELECT queries are constructed by calling from, with, or select on QueryDsl. The following query corresponds to SQL that retrieves all records from the ADDRESS table. val query: Query> = QueryDsl.from(a) /* select t0_.ADDRESS_ID, t0_.STREET, t0_.VERSION from ADDRESS as t0_ */ from To specify a FROM clause, call from. You should specify the entity metamodel for from. val query: Query> = QueryDsl.from(a) /* select t0_.ADDRESS_ID, t0_.STREET, t0_.VERSION from ADDRESS as t0_ */ With from, you can also specify a subquery along with the entity metamodel.
