Thanks! A little late to try tonight, but since you laid it all out
like that I'll give it a go.

Hello Jeff;
Fair enough. I will keep it simple...
First, create a fetch specification for the main EO that you wish to
operate on and prep it for pulling out the primary key;
EOEntity fooE = EOModelGroup.globalModelGroup().entityNamed("Foo");
EOFetchSpecification fs = ...
fs.setFetchesRawRows(true);
fs.setRawRowKeyPaths(fooE.primaryKeyAttributeNames());
By doing this, you don't give EOF so much work to do ensuring the
EO's you are working with are unique. OK so now fetch this into an
NSArray...
NSArray rrs = null;
{
EOEditingContext ec = new EOEditingContext();
ec.lock();
try { rrs = ec.objectsWithFetchSpecification(); }
finally { ec.unlock(); }
}
...work through these raw rows 50 (as an example) at a time...
for(int i=0;i<rrs.count();i+=50)
{
NSMutableArray<EOQualifier> qs = new
NSMutableArray<EOQualifier>();
for(int j=i;(j<(i+50)) && (j<rrs.count());j++)
{
EOGlobalID gid = fooE.globalIDForRow((NSDictionary)
rrs.objectAtIndex(j));
qs.addObject(LEEOHelper.qualifierForGlobalID(gid)); <--- copy
this method from LEWOStuff source.
}
EOEditingContext ec = new EOEditingContext();
ec.lock();
try
{
EOFetchSpecification fs = new EOFetchSpecification("Foo",new
EOOrQualifier(qs),null);
...fetch those EO's and do some stuff with them...
}
finally { ec.unlock(); }
}
...hope this helps and post back to the list (CC me) if you are
confused.
cheers.
Yes, I saw your post. However, I'm not an advanced EOF user, nor
do I know SQL very well (it's one of the reason I like
webobjects). That and the fact that any change I make needs to be
working in a couple of weeks makes me want to save a change like
you suggest for later when I've got more time to come up to speed
and to test. Maybe it's not as hard as it sounds? Keep in mind
that right now when you say "Load the list of EO's into memory to
be processed as raw-rows with the PK in the raw rows." I have NO
idea what you're talking about.
