[dali-dev] JPQL query plans?

[Tom Mutdosch <tommut@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Could someone expound a bit on the JPQL NamedQuery UI support being 
added for:  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186439

I am interesting in some of the details. Is this referring to being able 
to add/edit the queries via the JPA Property Views?   Regarding item #1 
from comment 4, what are Query Hints?  Is this referring to code 
completion?  I also see query validation mentioned there as well.  I am 
interested in this as well, as I have some tooling that lets you enter 
in a JPQL query; I would like to be able to offer code-completion and 
validation of these queries.  If this is something that Dali is adding, 
including a proper JPQL parser, I'd like to suggest to keep in mind 
possible extender usage of those functions, as I think it would be a big 
help.  There's currently no good JPQL support anywhere (only SQL 
parsers/validation) so any addition in the base tools for this would 
definitely be welcome.  So I was mainly just curious as to Dali's plans 
(current and future) with regards to query tooling.

Thanks
Tom
