SQL syntax term for 'WHERE (col1, col2) < (val1, val2)'

Question

As my question states, I would like to know what we call types of queries with that type of condition in the WHERE clause, i.e.:

SELECT * FROM m         


        

Answer 1

Expression Lists

Use of Row Value Constructors (RVC) in Comparison Predicates - quite a long term

RVCs are usually seen in INSERT statements, but rarely as part of WHERE clauses.

I doubt that this syntax has a direct support in JPA or Hibernate Criteria API, but there is always a workaround to achieve the same logic.
