<h1>Creating queries</h1>
<p><a id="sthref185" name="sthref185"></a><a id="sthref186" name="sthref186"></a>Named queries improve application performance because they are prepared once and they (and all of their associated supporting objects) can be efficiently reused thereafter, making them well suited for complex and frequently executed operations. Named queries use the JPA query language for portable execution on any underlying database; named native queries use the SQL language native to the underlying database.</p>
<p>Use this procedure to add <code>@NamedQuery</code> and <code>@NamedNativeQuery</code> annotations to the entity.</p>
<p>To create a named query:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Select the entity in the Project Explorer.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the JPA Details view, expand the <a href="reference025.htm#CACBICGJ">Queries</a> area.</p>

<img src="img/jpa_details_query_1.png" alt="" title="" /><br /></div>
<!-- class="figure" --></li>
<li>
<p>Click <span class="bold">Add</span> to add a new query. The <a href="reference076.htm#CACJIFEG">Add Query dialog</a> appears</p>
<div class="figure"><a id="sthref188" name="sthref188"></a>
<p class="titleinfigure">Add Query Dialog</p>
<img src="img/add_query.png" alt="Add Query dialog" title="Add Query dialog" /><br /></div>
<!-- class="figure" --></li>
<li>
<p>Enter the name of the query, select the query type (<span class="bold">Named Query</span> or <span class="bold">Named Native Query</span>), and click <span class="bold">OK</span>. The <a href="reference025.htm#CACBICGJ">Queries</a> area expands to show additional fields.</p>

<p class="titleinfigure">JPA Details, Queries Tab</p>
<img src="img/jpa_details_query_2.png" alt="" title="" /><br /></div>
<!-- class="figure" --></li>
<li>
<p>Enter the query in the <span class="bold">Query</span> field.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Complete the rest of the field on the <a href="reference025.htm#CACBICGJ">Queries</a> page.</p>

Enter the <span class="bold">Name</span> and <span class="bold">Value</span> of the hint.</p>
