# EJB QL Finders

Previous

Next

TopLink supports EJB QL. EJB QL finders let you specify an EJB QL string as the implementation of the query.

EJB QL offers the following advantages:

- It is the EJB 2.0 and 2.1 standard for queries.

- You can use it to construct most queries.

- You can implement dependent-object queries with EJB QL.

The disadvantage of EJB QL is that it is difficult to use when you construct complex queries.

For more information about EJB QL support in TopLink, see "Query Languages".

For more information on TopLink predefined finders that take EJB QL, see "Predefined Finders".
