Fay Wang commented on OPENJPA-1483:
-----------------------------------
Hi Milosz, no, we will not *always* use Count(*) for select count in all
scenarios. The Count(*) will be used only when SELECT COUNT(compound PK).
Could you please review OPENJPA-1483-2.patch. Thanks!

> This is a fundamental problem with count when compound primary key is
> involved.
> (1) If no relation navigation is involved:
> String jpql = "SELECT COUNT (DISTINCT e) FROM G2 e";
> With the property below:
> <property name="openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary"
> value="db2(useWildCardForCount=true)" />
> Openjpa will generate the following sql and return the correct count:
> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM G2 t0 optimize for 1 row
> (2) If there is relation navigation invloved:
> String jpql = "SELECT COUNT (DISTINCT f1.g2) FROM F1 f1";
>
> The property of useWildCardForCount will not generate correct sql with
> right result. However, given the object-relational impedance mismatch, there
> is no corresponding SQL construct for count of multiple primary keys, and
> there is no clean and generic solution to solve this problem. The only
> workaround is to use native SQL with table expression:
> SELECT COUNT(*)
> FROM (SELECT DISTINCT G1.G1PK, G1.G2PK FROM F1 t0 INNER JOIN G2 t1 ON
> t0.G1PK = t1.G1PK AND t0.G2PK = t1.G2PK)) TX;
> Rather than giving a wrong answer, OpenJPA should give an Unsupported
> exception.
