JPQL (Java Persistence Query Language)

JPQL (Java Persistence Query Language) is a specialized language used in Java applications to retrieve, update, and manage data stored in databases. It allows developers to write queries that work with Java objects and their relationships, rather than directly with database tables. This makes database interactions more intuitive and consistent with object-oriented programming. JPQL is similar to SQL but designed specifically for Java entities, enabling seamless data operations while abstracting the underlying database details. It helps developers focus on logic without worrying about database-specific syntax, promoting portability and easier maintenance.
