Alternative namedquery for nativequery

Question

i need to change my query from native-query to (named-query or create-query) in jpa.

em = getEntityManager();

    String query = "SELECT kcu.table_Name FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.key_column_usage kcu,Information_schema.Tables kt " +
            "WHERE kcu.REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME = 'sampleTable1' " +
            "AND kcu.TABLE_SCHEMA='sampleDataBase' " +
            "AND kcu.REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME = 'sampleRollNoId' " +
            "AND kt.table_name = kcu.table_name " +
            "AND kt.table_rows > 0 " +
            "AND kt.table_schema = kcu.table_schema";

    List tableNameList = (List) em.createNativeQuery(query).getResultList();

This query returns all tablenames (the tables names foreign key refer to this table (sampleTable1)).

I got error when i change createQuery or namedQuery.

Like

List tableNameList = (List) em.createQuery(query).getResultList();

or

List tableNameList = (List) em.createNamedQuery(query).getResultList();

How to change this query as namedQuery or createQuery. Is possible?

The following error, when i use createquery

------------- Standard Error -----------------
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger 
   (org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner).

Help me, Thanks in advance.

Use JPQL over SQL. In JPQL you refer to Entities rather than Tables and to Properties rather than Columns.

Use em.createQuery() to execute JPQL query. em.createNamedQuery() is for different purposes.
