 * When queries are executed within a transaction, if FlushModeType.AUTO is set
 * on the Query object, or if the flush mode setting for the persistence context
 * is AUTO (the default) and a flush mode setting has not been specified for the
 * Query object, the persistence provider is responsible for ensuring that all
 * updates to the state of all entities in the persistence context which could
 * potentially affect the result of the query are visible to the processing of
 * the query. The persistence provider implementation may achieve this by
 * flushing those entities to the database or by some other means. If FlushMode-
 * Type.COMMIT is set, the effect of updates made to entities in the persistence
 * context upon queries is unspecified.
