Here is what official hibernate docs tell us about this   You can count the number of query results without returning them      Integer  session createQuery  select count    from        iterate   next     intValue     However  it doesn t always return Integer instance  so it is better to use java lang Number for safety

It s very easy  just run the following JPQL query   int count      Number      entityManager      createQuery           select count b               from Book b        getSingleResult     intValue      The reason we are casting to Number is that some databases will return Long while others will return BigInteger  so for portability sake you are better off casting to a Number and getting an int or a long  depending on how many rows you are expecting to be counted
