    how to use string functions in EJB-QL

    olexa

      Hallo all,

      I try to find some entities through query method case insensitivitely, in general sql I'd use pair of UPPER functions but in EJB-QL I should use ucase function, as I understood.

      standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml have function mapping like:
      <function-mapping>
      <function-name>ucase</function-name>
      <function-sql>upper(?1)</function-sql>
      </function-mapping>

      But when I try to use it in <ejb-ql><![CDATA[SELECT OBJECT(o) FROM AgendaInstanceEJB o WHERE o.roomId = UCASE(?1)]]></ejb-ql> I get exception in deploy time:

      ...ParseException: Encountered "UCASE" at line 1, column 60.
      Was expecting one of:
      "CONCAT" ...
      "SUBSTRING" ...
      "(" ...
      <STRING_LITERAL> ...
      <STRING_VALUED_PARAMETER> ...
      <STRING_VALUED_PATH> ...
      ))

      please, geve me a piece of good advice how use it in right way.

      P.S. I use jboss vestion 3.0.4

      regards.
