Yes, that will most likely work Ralf. Thanks, I hadn't thought of that before (obviously). I'll give it a try.

The reason I came about this was because I'm trying to do a query that requires a certain date (month/year), and OQL (as far as I know) doesn't support any date functions such as MONTH() or YEAR(), but almost every database I know of has this and would be trivial to pull the data out in a SQL query instead of a OQL query. There are other reasons that you may want to use SQL instead of OQL and vice versa, but you get the idea. > > So with this there would be obvious limitations, constrictions.

Also, there doesn't seem to be any way to set your Query once you get it from db.getQuery().
