The query BNF for a comparison expression.
JPA 1.0:
BNF: comparison_expression ::= string_expression comparison_operator {string_expression | all_or_any_expression} | boolean_expression { = | <> } {boolean_expression | all_or_any_expression} | enum_expression { = | <> } {enum_expression | all_or_any_expression} | datetime_expression comparison_operator {datetime_expression | all_or_any_expression} | entity_expression { = | <> } {entity_expression | all_or_any_expression} | arithmetic_expression comparison_operator {arithmetic_expression | all_or_any_expression}
JPA 2.0, 2.1:
BNF: comparison_expression ::= string_expression comparison_operator {string_expression | all_or_any_expression} | boolean_expression { = | <> } {boolean_expression | all_or_any_expression} | enum_expression { = | <> } {enum_expression | all_or_any_expression} | datetime_expression comparison_operator {datetime_expression | all_or_any_expression} | entity_expression { = | <> } {entity_expression | all_or_any_expression} | arithmetic_expression comparison_operator {arithmetic_expression | all_or_any_expression} | entity_type_expression { = | <> } entity_type_expression}
