Simple jpa question

Question

I have to go through some code of a project to implement some missiong functionality. It uses jpa.In some popj classes i have found

@Entity
@Table(name="TYPE")
@NamedQueries( { 
 @NamedQuery(name = "getTypes", query = "SELECT dct FROM Type dct") 
})

I know that i can used to get all records by using this query.Does this query return all records in type table?

Answer 1

Yes, it does. It generates an SQL query that looks roughly like this:

SELECT [column list here] FROM type

Answer 2

This query will return all the Type entities including subtypes, if any. And since I can't say if this there are any subtypes, I can't say if this query will be restricted to the TYPE table.
