Hi All,

There is a method in EOSQLExpression as follows:

public String formatValueForAttribute(Object value, EOAttribute attribute)

which is supposed to format a value as a string ready for inclusion in a SQL statement / query. However the method doesn't seem to really do what it advertises. It always returns "NULL".

So I went ahead and decompiled the subclasses all the way to the super class EOSQLExpression:

OraclePlugIn$OracleExpression.java extends JDBCExpression.java extends EOSQLExpression.java

What I found out is that I'm right. The method doesn't do anything. Either that or I'm missing something.

I was interested in formatting NSTimestamp and String values mostly.

I see EOSQLExpression has formatStringValue() which I may be able to use for String values. I still need something for NSTimestamp values and I may have to write my own.

Any advise on this is appreciated.

Thanks
