 **[Optimize `SELECT DISTINCT` Via Hibernate `HINT_PASS_DISTINCT_THROUGH` Hint](https://github.com/AnghelLeonard/Hibernate-SpringBoot/tree/master/HibernateSpringBootHintPassDistinctThrough)**
 
-**Description:** Starting with Hibernate 5.2.2, we can optimize JPQL (HQL) query entites of type `SELECT DISTINCT` via `HINT_PASS_DISTINCT_THROUGH` hint. Keep in mind that this hint is useful only for JPQL (HQL) query entites. Is not useful for scalar queries (e.g., `List<Integer>`) or DTO. In such cases, the `DISTINCT` JPQL keyword is needed to be passed to the underlying SQL query. This will instruct the database to remove duplicates from the result set. Also check [HHH-13280](https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-13280).
