I am trying to convert this native sql into an HQL query. Basically it returns all the contacts that are duplicates (by company, firstname, and lastname). The query below works great, but performing a joined subselect seems impossible in HQL is it not?! Select c.* from contact c join ( Select c2.* from contact c2 group by c2.company, c2.firstname, c2.lastname, c2.teamId having count(c2.contactId)1 and teamId=1 ) dupes on c.company=dupes.company and c.teamId=1 and c.firstname=dupes.firstname and c.lastname=dupes.lastname order by c.company, c.firstname, c.lastname
