I'm asking because the org.hibernate.annotations.NamedNativeQuery or org.hibernate.annotations.NamedQuery
define the comment attribute with the following Javadoc: /** * A comment added to the generated SQL query. Useful when engaging with DBA. */ String comment() default ""; So, Hibernate clients could use the comment attribute in order to supply an Oracle query hint, right? In this case, should we treat this attribute as a query hint so that the Oracle/SQL Server hint logic applies to this one as well?
