Perfect! I prefer the join qualifier anyway. I just thought it might
have been easier to request the relaxation of theta-style joins as it
wouldn't have required any change to the query parser - just a change to
how it was interpreted. What version of the ejb3 embedded container do
you think
The better approach IMO is to allow more SQL-like ad hoc joining by
explicitly supporting an ON join qualifier. Support for this is already
being built into the redesigned query parsers. Theta-style joining went
be the wayside in SQL specs for a reason ;)
From Java Persistence with Hibernate:
"You probably won't need to use the theta-style joins often. Note
that it's currently not possible in HQL or JPA QL to outer join two
tables that don't have a mapped association -- theta-style joins are
inner joins."
