8:00 – 4:00 CSIP

• Hibernate Chapter 3. Working on getting to chapter 8, which covers dynamic creation. “Chapter 8 discusses criteria queries, an interesting mechanism that lets you express the constraints on the entities you want, using a natural Java API. This lets you build Java objects to represent the data you want to find, which is easier for people who aren’t database experts to understand; lets you leverage your IDE’s code completion as a memory aid; and even gives you compile-time checking of your syntax. It also supports a form of “query by example,” where you can supply objects that are similar to the ones you’re searching for, which is particularly handy for implementing search interfaces in an application.“
• Chapter 4
• Tried to change a query from foo = :upper(mySearchTerm) to foo like ‘%upper(mySearchTerm)%’ and failed completely. Dong suggested restrictions, but I don’t see how to do that in the hbm.xml <![CDATA[…]]> section.
