All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class LowerExpression
extends AbstractSingleEncapsulatedExpression

The LOWER function converts a string to lower case and it returns a string.

JPA 1.0, 2.0:

BNF: expression ::= LOWER(string_primary)

JPA 2.1:

BNF: expression ::= LOWER(string_expression)
