Using a column class to define an on-the-fly field is working fine for one table but I think it has a bugette when you use a join. Simplified example for the query:
object_class - GARD::Book sort_by - C_sourceyear query - [bookowners.ownercode => {like => '%JB%'}] with_objects - [bookowners] produces: SELECT IF(publishyear > originyear, originyear, publishyear) as C_sourceyear, t1.title, t2.ownercode,... FROM books t1 LEFT OUTER JOIN bookowners t2 ON (t1.uid = t2.bookuid) WHERE t2.ownercode LIKE "%JDS%" ORDER BY t1.C_sourceyear; which of course fails with Unknown column 't1.C_sourceyear'. I've done some testing and if ORDER BY uses C_sourceyear, it does work so I think this is due to the "t1" being appended onto the ORDER BY parameter by Rose (I think reasonable behaviour given that Rose isn't supposed to know about the alias and thinks it's a column). Is there a way around this or am I simply taking the workaround a step too far? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
