Queries are case-insensitive, except for names of Java classes and properties. So SeLeCT is the same as sELEct is the same as SELECT but org.hibernate.eg.FOO is not org.hibernate.eg.Foo and foo.barSet is not foo.BARSET.

This manual uses lowercase EJBQL keywords. Some users find queries with uppercase keywords more readable, but we find this convention ugly when embedded in Java code.
