/**
 * An object-oriented representation of a Hibernate query. A <tt>Query</tt>
 * instance is obtained by calling <tt>Session.createQuery()</tt>. This
 * interface exposes some extra functionality beyond that provided by
 * <tt>Session.iterate()</tt> and <tt>Session.find()</tt>:
 * <ul>
 * <li>a particular page of the result set may be selected by calling <tt>
 * setMaxResults(), setFirstResult()</tt>
 * <li>named query parameters may be used
 * <li>the results may be returned as an instance of <tt>ScrollableResults</tt>
 * </ul>
 * <br>
 * Named query parameters are tokens of the form <tt>:name</tt> in the
 * query string. A value is bound to the <tt>integer</tt> parameter
 * <tt>:foo</tt> by calling<br>
 * <br>
 * <tt>setParameter("foo", foo, Hibernate.INTEGER);</tt><br>
 * <br>
 * for example. A name may appear multiple times in the query string.<br>
 * <br>
 * JDBC-style <tt>?</tt> parameters are also supported. To bind a
 * value to a JDBC-style parameter use a set method that accepts an
 * <tt>int</tt> positional argument (numbered from zero, contrary
 * to JDBC).<br>
 * <br>
 * You may not mix and match JDBC-style parameters and named parameters
 * in the same query.<br>
 * <br>
 * Queries are executed by calling <tt>list()</tt>, <tt>scroll()</tt> or
 * <tt>iterate()</tt>. A query may be re-executed by subsequent invocations.
 * Its lifespan is, however, bounded by the lifespan of the <tt>Session</tt>
 * that created it.<br>
 * <br>
 * Implementors are not intended to be threadsafe.
