 ==== Date and time literals
 
-According to the JPQL specification, date and time literals may be specified using the JDBC escape syntax.

-Literals referring to the current date and time are also provided.
-Again there is some flexibility.
+There's two problems here:

-| Date/time type | Java type | Underscored syntax | Spaced syntax
-
-| Date | `java.time.LocalDate` | `local_date` | `local date`
-| Time | `java.time.LocalTime` | `local_time` | `local time`
-| Datetime | `java.time.LocalDateTime` | `local_datetime` | `local datetime`
-| Offset datetime | `java.time.OffsetDateTime`| `offset_datetime` | `offset datetime`
-| Instant | `java.time.Instant` | `instant` | `instant`
-| Date | `java.sql.Date` 💀| `current_date` | `current date`
-| Time | `java.sql.Time` 💀| `current_time` | `current time`
-| Datetime | `java.sql.Timestamp` 💀| `current_timestamp` | `current timestamp`
-|===

-Of these, only `local date`, `local time`, `local datetime`, `current_date`, `current_time`, and `current_timestamp` are defined by the JPQL specification.
+1. this syntax is rather unpleasant to look at, and
+2. these literals are assigned types defined by JDBC, instead of date/time types defined in `java.time`.
 
 [IMPORTANT]
 ====
 The use of date and time types from the `java.sql` package is strongly discouraged!
+Jakarta Persistence 3.2 deprecates support for these types.
 Always use `java.time` types in new code.
