SQL Query OneToMany Filtering with child entity but returning parent

Hey I need some help with an SQL Query I just can’t figure out. I got these two Tables with an OneToMany/ManyToOne relation:

create table Author (
"UUID" RAW(16) DEFAULT NULL NOT NULL ENABLE,
"name" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"processed" NUMBER(1,0) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL ENABLE,
CONSTRAINT "Author_P" PRIMARY KEY ("UUID"),
)

create table Book (
"UUID" RAW(16) DEFAULT NULL NOT NULL ENABLE, 
"name" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"release" TIMESTAMP(6),
"AUTHOR_ID" RAW(16) NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT Book_P PRIMARY KEY (UUID),
        CONSTRAINT Book_F FOREIGN KEY (KAFKA_BEZIEHUNG_ID) REFERENCES "Author" ("UUID")
)

Now I got this select query to get me all Books that have been written before the current date:

(I’m doing this in Java JPA via the Query Annotation)

@Query(Select b from Book b where b.release < current_timestamp)
List<Book> findAllBooksBeforeToday();

In this case I am returning all the books, but what I what instead is:

returning only the authors and without duplicates
Additional I only want to return the authors where the “processed” value is false.

I can achieve the first by doing this or atleast I thought but thats not quite working:

@Query(Select b.author_id from Book b where b.release < current_timestamp)
HashSet<Author> findAllBooksBeforeToday();

The second condition is pretty simple like this:

@Query(Select a from author a where a.processed = false)

So my question is now, how do I and maybe even can I combine these two queries in one query that selects from the book table but only returns the author that are processed = false?

Answer

I’m assuming Book.AUTHOR_ID matches Author.UUID

select distinct b.author_id 
from Book b inner join Author a on a.UUID = b.AUTHOR_ID
where a.processed = 0 and b.release < current_timestamp
