You can also use the ReportQuery for doing what you want but it doesn't return objects , only the request rows .

Is it possible to retrieve only certain fields of a table through OJB OQL? Something similar to the SQL: select id, video_id from VIDEO_DATA where id=5. Doing things like select id, videoId from " + VideoData.class.getName() + " where id = " + videoDataId doesn't seem to work. It continues retrieving the entire table row. What I'm trying to do is avoid loading a huge BLOB unless absolutely necessary. I know I could re-design the application to move the BLOB to its own table or something like that, but I don't have that option at this point. Thanks a lot, -Ara- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
