Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL)

Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL) is a powerful tool used in Java applications to query data from databases. Unlike traditional SQL, which operates directly on tables, JPQL works with objects and their relationships, making it more aligned with Java's object-oriented programming. This allows developers to write queries that are easier to understand and maintain. JPQL translates these object-based queries into SQL behind the scenes, enabling seamless interaction with the database while still focusing on Java objects, ultimately simplifying data retrieval and manipulation in enterprise applications.
