Currently casting in HQL is under-defined and open-ended (and therefore pretty inconsistent). What does that mean? Well, what is a valid cast target in HQL? There really is not a defined answer to that.
I'd like to start formalizing the answer to this. Specifically, I am thinking this should be defined around JavaTypeDescriptor. So that we'd understand any Java type registered with with JavaTypeDescriptorRegistry, and specifically any that properly implements `#getJdbcRecommendedSqlType` (using the Dialect to resolve the cast target in the generated SQL). Anyone have objections to this? Thoughts? _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
