I am trying to get the following query to the DB:

SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(vendor) FROM sample_request_line_item WHERE vendor IS
NOT NULL ORDER BY vendor;

EJBQL has no UPPER or UCASE, so it is out.

I tried JBossQL as such:

SELECT DISTINCT UCASE(s.vendor) FROM SampleRequestLineItemBean s WHERE
s.vendor IS NOT NULL ORDER BY s.vendor

That resulted in a parse error:

Caused by: org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.ejbql.ParseException: Encountered
"UCASE" at line 1, column 17.
Was expecting one of:
    "OBJECT" ...
    <NUMERIC_VALUED_PATH> ...
    <STRING_VALUED_PATH> ...
    <DATETIME_VALUED_PATH> ...
    <BOOLEAN_VALUED_PATH> ...
    <ENTITY_VALUED_PATH> ...
    <VALUE_CLASS_VALUED_PATH> ...

Ok.... So I am now looking at declaredSQL from Dain's docs...

But to specify distinct there, you just insert a tag. Also, the select tags
just contain the EJB name and would look like this:

<declared-sql>
<select>
    </distinct>
    <ejb-name>SampleRequestLineItemBean</ejb-name>
    <alias>lineItem</alias>
</select>
...
</declared-sql>

It doesnąt look like I can insert the logic there...

Any ideas? The raw SQL runs on the database (PostgreSQL) just fine...

JBoss 3.2.0 RC1 on MacOS X 10.2.x.

Thanks,
Hunter
