      • getTableAlias

        java.lang.String getTableAlias()
        Obtain the table alias used for referencing the table of the EntityReference.

        Note that this currently just returns the "root alias" whereas sometimes an entity reference covers multiple tables. todo : to help manage this, consider a solution like TableAliasRoot from the initial ANTLR re-work see http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/hibernate/core/branches/antlr3/src/main/java/org/hibernate/sql/ast/alias/TableAliasGenerator.java

        Returns:
        The (root) table alias for the described entity reference.
      • getColumnAliases

        EntityAliases getColumnAliases()

        Returns:
        The column aliases associated with the described entity reference.
