Hi Andrus, I may be missing something, but it looks like you'd have to do something such as:
SQLSelect.query(Artist.class, "SELECT * FROM ARTIST WHERE ..."); In most cases, you are always going to select "*" I think and artist is duplicated. Why not something more along the lines of: SQLSelect.on(Artist.class).where("..."); Thanks, mrg On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 11:45 AM, Andrus Adamchik <and...@objectstyle.org>wrote: > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-1828 > > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cayenne/main/trunk/framework/cayenne-jdk1.5-unpublished/src/main/java/org/apache/cayenne/query/SQLSelect.java > > So SQLTemplate annoyed me enough to wrap it as a quick experiment with > fluent APIs.
