[hibernate-dev] enhancement request - relaxing theta-style joins

[Joseph Marques]

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?
