Is there any performance gain if I only select several columns instead of a whole entity

Currently, I am fetching all the columns and then use MapStruct to map it into the DTO, it works fine for me.
It is bothersome to just select several fields in Hibernate/HQL.
For example:

So I think I should just stick with the old way (select the whole enity and use MapStruct).

I want to know is there any big gap about the performance between between these two, especially in the case my queries contains several join statement

Yes, it is.

As explained in this article, selecting only a subset of columns is much more efficient and will always perform better than selecting all columns only to discard whatever fields you don’t need.
