If this was removed, what would people who use this now use instead? BTW, it is a general practice that we avoid any SQL (even parts of select clauses) in OFBiz itself since this introduces a risk of not working on certain databases. However, just because a feature isn't used in the OFBiz applications doesn't mean we should remove it from the OFBiz framework (if that was the case there is a LOT of stuff we should remove... the framework could be half its size!).
