Hey Gail,
I usually register a dedicated SQLFunction for every time value in the
Dialect and use these functions instead. So in your case, I'd have a
"day" function and use it like
final Expression<Integer> diff = cb.function("DAY", Integer.class, ...
).as(Integer.class);
The fuction will then render the SQL like it is supposed to be
"select datediff( day, ... ) from ..."
Although I'm not 100% sure that CriteriaBuilder.function properly
resolves the function since I never used custom function with the JPA
Criteria API directly, I'd at least expect it.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
