+
+Hibernate features three complementary ways to write queries:
+
+- the _Hibernate Query Language_, an extremely powerful superset of JPQL, which abstracts most of the features of modern SQL queries,
+- the JPA _criteria query_ API, along with extensions, allowing almost any HQL query to be constructed programmatically via a typesafe API, and, of course
+- for when all else fails, _native SQL_ queries.
+
+We don't need to discuss HQL in detail in this Introduction.
+That's there's already a complete and very up-to-date description of the language in
+the {hql}[User Guide].
