Hello, Marc and Jeremy, others: > I've been searching for a means to do something similar with JPQL but haven't found anything yet
I'm wondering if the "SQL passthrough" extenion, see http://n2.nabble.com/Queries-using-specific-SQL,-e.g.-functions,-or-spec ific-operators---passthrough-SQL-pieces-without-full-native-query-td6688 56.html, could interest you? > Can one do this with custom functions in OpenJPA ? May be one could write your own JDBCFilterListener for a need like this? It would be nice if this area was better documented...

I was able to get the native query below to produce only Orders for the current date using DB2. My 'created' field is defined as a TIMESTAMP, which is similar to the DATETIME datatype. @NamedNativeQuery(name="todaysOrders", query="select * from ORDER where CAST(created AS DATE) = current_date", resultClass=Order.class) This is, of course, DB specific so it may or may not work for with your DB (SQL Server?). I've been searching for a means to do something similar with JPQL but haven't found anything yet. -Jeremy ____________________________________________________________ This email and any files transmitted with it are CONFIDENTIAL and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.
