All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ParameterizedQuery, Query
```
public class SQLTemplate
extends AbstractQuery
implements ParameterizedQuery
```
A query that executes unchanged (except for template preprocessing) "raw" SQL specified by the user.
Template Script

SQLTemplate stores a dynamic template for the SQL query that supports parameters and customization using Velocity scripting language. The most straightforward use of scripting abilities is to build parameterized queries. For example:
```
                  SELECT ID, NAME FROM SOME_TABLE WHERE NAME LIKE $a
 
```
For advanced scripting options see "Scripting SQLTemplate" chapter in the User Guide.

Per-Database Template Customization

SQLTemplate has a default template script, but also it allows to configure multiple templates and switch them dynamically. This way a single query can have multiple "dialects" specific to a given database.

  - getCustomTemplate
```
public String getCustomTemplate(String key)
```
    Returns template for key, or null if there is no template configured for this key. Unlike getTemplate(String)this method does not return a default template as a failover strategy, rather it returns null.

```
public void setTemplate(String key,
                        String template)
```
    Adds a SQL template string for a given key. Note the the keys understood by Cayenne must be fully qualified adapter class names. This way the framework can related current DataNode to the right template. E.g. "org.apache.cayenne.dba.oracle.OracleAdapter" is a key that should be used to setup an Oracle-specific template.

  - getColumnNamesCapitalization
```
public CapsStrategy getColumnNamesCapitalization()
```
    Returns a column name capitalization policy applied to selecting queries. This is used to simplify mapping of the queries like "SELECT * FROM ...", ensuring that a chosen Cayenne column mapping strategy (e.g. all column names in uppercase) is portable across database engines that can have varying default capitalization. Default (null) value indicates that column names provided in result set are used unchanged.
    
    Since:
    
    3.0
  - setColumnNamesCapitalization
```
public void setColumnNamesCapitalization(CapsStrategy columnNameCapitalization)

    Sets a column name capitalization policy applied to selecting queries. This is used to simplify mapping of the queries like "SELECT * FROM ...", ensuring that a chosen Cayenne column mapping strategy (e.g. all column names in uppercase) is portable across database engines that can have varying default capitalization. Default (null) value indicates that column names provided in result set are used unchanged.
    Note that while a non-default setting is useful for queries that do not rely on a #result directive to describe columns, it works for all SQLTemplates the same way.
