/**
 * Used in conjunction with the {@link SqlResultSetMapping} annotation or
 * {@link ConstructorResult} annotation to map a column of the SELECT
 * list of a SQL query.
 *
 *  The name element references the name of a column in the SELECT list
 *  — i.e., column alias, if applicable. Scalar result types can be 
 * included in the query result by specifying this annotation in 
 * the metadata.
 *
 * 
 *
 * Example:
 *   Query q = em.createNativeQuery(
 *       "SELECT o.id AS order_id, " +
 *           "o.quantity AS order_quantity, " +
 *           "o.item AS order_item, " + 
 *           "i.name AS item_name, " +
 *         "FROM Order o, Item i " +
 *         "WHERE (order_quantity > 25) AND (order_item = i.id)",
 *       "OrderResults");
 *
 *   @SqlResultSetMapping(name="OrderResults",
 *       entities={
 *           @EntityResult(entityClass=com.acme.Order.class, fields={
 *               @FieldResult(name="id", column="order_id"),
 *               @FieldResult(name="quantity", column="order_quantity"),
 *               @FieldResult(name="item", column="order_item")})},
 *       columns={
 *           @ColumnResult(name="item_name")}
 *       )
 *
