Spring Boot JPA - Native Query

Some time case arises, where we need a custom native query to fulfil one test case. We can use @Query annotation to specify a query within a repository. Following is an example. In this example, we are using native query, and set an attribute nativeQuery=true in Query annotation to mark the query as native.
We've added custom methods in Repository in JPA Custom Query chapter. Now let's add another method using native query and test it.
Add a method to get list of employees order by their names.
package com.tutorialspoint.repository;

import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.Query;
import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import com.tutorialspoint.entity.Employee;

@Repository
public interface EmployeeRepository extends CrudRepository<Employee, Integer>  {
   public List<Employee> findByName(String name);	
   public List<Employee> findByAge(int age);
   public Employee findByEmail(String email);
   
   @Query(value = "SELECT e FROM Employee e ORDER BY name")
   public List<Employee> findAllSortedByName();
   
   @Query(value = "SELECT * FROM Employee ORDER BY name", nativeQuery = true)
   public List<Employee> findAllSortedByNameUsingNative();
}
Let's test the methods added by adding their test cases in test file. Last two methods of below file tests the custom query method added.
Following is the complete code of EmployeeRepositoryTest.
