I have recently come across a situation where I need to perform a delete with a where clause. I would like the where clause to be parameterized to take advantage of prepared statements. Looking through the API for Session I see a delete method, Session.delete(String), but I'm wondering if there is a way to do something like Session.delete(Query)? If so then I could parameterize my where clause as desired.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Doing a query.list(), Iterate over it and doing delete for every entity is pretty much the same as session.delete() does
