Can I join two tables in a NamedQuery?

[Sheetal Tiwari]

Hello,

I have two tables that have one to one relationship and I have created java classes for both of them and annotated with @Entity.
Now for a particular case, I want to join both these tables and fetch the data.
Can tables be joined in @NamedQuery ?
Is yes , could you provide a sample.

If it cannot be done using @namedQuery then is it advisable to use @NamedNativeQuery in this scenario.

Thanks for the help.

you should be dealing with objects, not tables hence you would have
select person p where
p.address.country='Oz'

For example can I write a NamedQuery for the following SQL?

"Select * from A, B
Where A.id = B.id
order by B.sortOrder"
