A quick question. I'm getting errors from the ANTLR query parser when using JDBC Sql Escape Syntax in my HQL where clause. For example:

"from User u where u.createDate > {ts '2007-02-01 09:00:00'}"

I get a compile error on the '{' character. I understand I can replace the time value with a placeholder (?), but this is a legacy application. Previously, the classic query parser was used, and it worked, but we changed to the newer parser and ran into trouble.
