Hibernate Named Query helps us in grouping queries at a central location rather than letting them scattered all over the code.
Hibernate Named Query syntax is checked when the hibernate session factory is created, thus making the application fail fast in case of any error in the named queries. Hibernate Named Query is global, which means once defined it can be used throughout the application.
However one of the major disadvantages of a Named query is that it’s hard to debug because we need to find out the location where it’s defined.
