[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - Re: HQL/ JPA-QL Query Tuning: How to enforce the join order

Yeah, but this is what proper statistics are good for. The "solution" is just a nasty hack. If the query optimizer chooses an obviously wrong join order than something is wrong with the statistics. The proper way is to fix those. Three reasons suddenly come to my mind why using this "hack" is wrong: 1.) You have to modify every single query in your application. 2.) The queries become less readable. Your code will be less maintainable. 3.) The behaviour is unpredictable. New useful indxes might not be used; the query optimizer might realize in later versions that multiplying with 0 is always 0... Don't cure the symptoms. Fix the problem.
