Hi, it would be good if SA has similar feature to return scalar, but from the point of view of objects - SA internally "knows" inheritance and so on ... so one doesnt have to bother of exact tables, but only the object. This can be usefull for reporting on top of SA - see for example if you have class A inherits B inherits C and table inheritance and with attributes a,b,c in the tables A, B, C correspondingly - if we have such feature - it will be possible to report just 2 columns A.a, A.b (not bothering about tables at all). But this is a bit changing of a focus of SA to objects, not SQL... Stefan
