Hibernate features three complementary ways to write queries:

The difference, of course, is that `getSingleResult()` throws an exception if there is no matching row in the database, whereas `getSingleResultOrNull()` just returns `null`.
By default, Hibernate dirty checks entities in the persistence context before executing a query, in order to determine if the session should be flushed.
If there are many entities association with the persistence context, then this can be an expensive operation.
