Mastering COUNT(DISTINCT ...) in R2DBC with Spring Data: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

If you're working with R2DBC and Spring Data, you might have encountered challenges when trying to express complex SQL queries using the Criteria API. One common requirement is to count distinct records in a database, particularly when you need to filter results based on specific conditions. This post addresses the problem of constructing a criteria query to replicate the SQL query:

In this article, we'll explain how to achieve this functionality in a clear and structured way. We'll guide you through the nuances of the Criteria API and provide a step-by-step solution that will help you grasp how to express distinct records in your queries.

Understanding the Problem

You might have noticed that when you attempted to translate your SQL query into the Criteria API, you were able to achieve a simpler query that counts all IDs rather than counting distinct ones:

To tweak your implementation to match the SQL exactly, you'll want to incorporate the DISTINCT keyword into your query, which requires an understanding of how you can manipulate the R2DBC statement mapper effectively.

The Solution Strategy

To express COUNT(DISTINCT ...) with the R2DBC Criteria API, we have a couple of methods at our disposal. Here’s a breakdown of these approaches:

1. Using Statement Mapper of R2dbcEntityTemplate

You can create a select statement that incorporates DISTINCT. Below is a sample implementation demonstrating how to achieve this:

2. Custom CountDistinctFunction

If you want to create a more reusable function for counting distinct records, you can define a custom class called CountDistinctFunction. Here’s how:

a. Create CountDistinctFunction

Conclusion

By following the methods outlined above, you can effectively count distinct records using the R2DBC Criteria API with Spring Data. This approach allows you to maintain the power and flexibility of SQL while leveraging the reactive programming model that R2DBC offers. Don't hesitate to modify these snippets to fit your specific use case and requirements.
