    }
}

You have to include antlr.jar to use HQL in your hibernate program.

Data saved in database as follows:

The java entity class used for this example:

package com.pkm.domains;

import java.util.Date;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Temporal;
import javax.persistence.TemporalType;

@Entity
public class User implements java.io.Serializable {   
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
    private Long id;
    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    public Long getId() {
        return this.id;
    }
    
    @Column(name = "email", unique = true, nullable = false, length = 100)
    private String email;
    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }
    public String getEmail() {
        return this.email;
    }
     
    @Column(name = "first_name", nullable = false)
    private String firstName;
    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }
    public String getFirstName() {
        return this.firstName;
    }
     
    @Column(name = "last_name", nullable = true)
    private String lastName;
    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }
    public String getLastName() {
        return this.lastName;
    }
     
    @Column(name = "phone_number", nullable = false)
    private String phoneNumber;
    public void setPhoneNumber(String phoneNumber) {
        this.phoneNumber = phoneNumber;
    }
    public String getPhoneNumber() {
        return this.phoneNumber;
    }
     
    @Column(name = "area_code", nullable = true)
    private int areaCode;
    public void setAreaCode(int areaCode) {
        this.areaCode = areaCode;
    }
    public int getAreaCode() {
        return this.areaCode;
    }
    
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    @Column(name = "date_updated", unique = false, nullable = true, length = 100)
    private Date dateUpdated;
    public void setDateUpdated(Date dateUpdated) {
        this.dateUpdated = dateUpdated;
    }
    public Date getDateUpdated() {
        return this.dateUpdated;
    }
    
    public User() {
        this.dateUpdated = new Date();        
    }
}

Output as following

Insert Result: 1
