HQL Functions

HQL (Hibernate Query Language) functions are built-in tools that help developers perform common data operations, such as counting records, finding the smallest or largest value, or transforming data within a database query. Think of them as useful shortcuts that save time and effort when retrieving or manipulating data stored in a database. Instead of writing complex code, you can use these functions to efficiently perform tasks like summing numbers, calculating averages, or formatting data directly within your queries. They streamline data management, making database interactions more effective and easier to handle.
