Introduction to the Java Persistence Query Language

This video explains how to use the Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL) to query an object model. It explores JPQL basics and discusses the risk of SQL Injection. The Java Persistence query language defines queries for entities and their persistent state. The query language allows you to write portable queries that work regardless of the underlying data store.

The query language uses the abstract persistence schemas of entities, including their relationships, for its data model and defines operators and expressions based on this data model. The scope of a query spans the abstract schemas of related entities that are packaged in the same persistence unit. The query language uses an SQL-like syntax to select objects or values based on entity abstract schema types and relationships among them.
