Java Persistence with Spring Data and Hibernate epub
JPQL is the JPA query language that expresses queries in terms of persistent entity classes and their properties.
- How it is used
- Expresses application queries over persistent entity classes and properties through the JPA programming model.
- How deep it goes
- Defines entity-oriented naming and demonstrates typed selection and ordering, without detailing JPQL grammar or query translation internals.
- Examples
- Uses Message, Bid, and Item queries, including property-based ordering and typed result retrieval.
- What you can do after
- Apply JPQL via EntityManager to select and order entities across relational and supported NoSQL persistence configurations.

Troubleshooting Java, Second Edition
JPQL is an object-oriented query language for retrieving and manipulating persistent entities defined by the Java Persistence API.
- How it is used
- Uses object-based persistence queries while helping investigate SQL generated by frameworks.
- How deep it goes
- Defines JPQL briefly and stops short of its grammar or query-writing rules.
- Examples
- Uses a product repository, a product endpoint, profiler output, and a copied SQL query examined in a SQL client.
- What you can do after
- Diagnose framework-generated SQL by profiling JDBC traffic and investigating captured queries in a SQL client.
