Criteriabuilder like, how to do it for Long? - postgresql

Question

i try use "like" method from Criteriabuilder for get all record based on pattern " 10% ".
I want get record where ID is - 101, 10002, 1003,1000 etc...
I've use this code:
Predicate p = cb.like(r.<String>get("ID").as(String.class), "10%")
but i got Exception where i see what postgres can't execute query like this:
SELECT ID, NAME, SOMETHING FROM TABLE WHERE ID LIKE 10%
That is JPA (Glassfish 4.x) generate wrond query.
Right query must like that :
SELECT ID, NAME, SOMETHING FROM TABLE WHERE CAST (ID as TEXT) LIKE '10%'
How to build query via Criteria API that i got a right query for postgres ?
Updated:
I try write a CAST function :
Expression<String> postgresqlCastFunction = cb.function("CAST", String.class, r.<String>get("ID").as(String.class));
Predicate p = cb.like(postgresqlCastFunction, "10%");
but got a query like this :
FROM TABLE WHERE (CAST(ID) LIKE ?)
, so, how to add need expression in function for this right result -
FROM TABLE WHERE (CAST(ID as TEXT) LIKE ?) ..

Answer 1

An example implementation using PostgreSQL native TO_CHAR function may look as follows:
JPQL
SELECT r FROM Records r
WHERE FUNCTION('TO_CHAR', r.ID, 'FM9999999999') LIKE :pattern
Criteria API
Path<String> id = r.get("ID");
Expression<String> format = cb.literal("FM9999999999");
Expression<String> function= cb.function("TO_CHAR", String.class, id, format);
ParameterExpression<String> pattern = cb.parameter(String.class, "pattern");
Predicate like = cb.like(function, pattern);
cq.where(like);
also you can build the query as an one-liner:
cq.where(cb.like(cb.function("TO_CHAR", String.class, r.get("ID"), cb.literal("FM9999999999")), cb.parameter(String.class, "pattern")));
Execute the above query:
Query q = em.createQuery(cq).setParameter("pattern", "10%");
