Gavin King ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *commented* on HHH-16769 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16769?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWYwMW... ) Re: Allow comparing expressions of certain types against a string representation in HQL ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16769?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWYwMW... ) Also Steve is the right to point to the fact that in H6 we have a much more flexible literal syntax, so this particular implicit conversion seems quite a lot less useful, and indeed I’m not even sure it’s a good one to support. (Making this portable would depend on every database having the same string representation of datetimes.)
