You can define a named query in an <item-descriptor> element in a SQL repository definition file. A named query is defined in a <named-query> element. For example, if you have an RQL query like this:
lastName ENDS WITH "son"
you can define a named query like this:
<item-descriptor name=...>
...
<named-query>
<rql-query>
<query-name>myQuery</query-name>
<rql>lastName ENDS WITH "son"</rql>
</rql-query>
</named-query>
</item-descriptor>
You can also create a named query using Java code, as described in the next section.
