I am not the only one to find this "a rather unexpected place". Unlike createNativeQuery which is easily identified by grep, searches for 'function' require a bit more care and are likely to be missed. -=- Jerry -- View this message in context: http://openjpa.208410.n2.nabble.com/JPA-for-portable-database-management-tp5134215p5136980.html Sent from the OpenJPA Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
