Perfect! I prefer the join qualifier anyway. I just thought it might
have been easier to request the relaxation of theta-style joins as it
wouldn't have required any change to the query parser - just a change to
how it was interpreted. What version of the ejb3 embedded container do
you think this feature will make it in to?

The better approach IMO is to allow more SQL-like ad hoc joining by
explicitly supporting an ON join qualifier. Support for this is
already being built into the redesigned query parsers. Theta-style
joining went be the wayside in SQL specs for a reason ;)
