|
|
* implement queries from both in-memory and database-backed collections.
|
|
*
|
|
* For database backed collections this allows very efficient access by
|
|
* utilizing the query APIs, for example SQL in the ORM. Applications using
|
|
* this API can implement efficient database access without having to ask the
|
|
* EntityManager or Repositories.
