Don't know Informix details, but generally DbAdapter takes care of
that in a db-specific manner. Our Informix adapter effort got stuck
for now [1]. So I suggest to first check whether
ExpressionFactpry.likeIgnoreCaseExp() works. If it doesn't, you have
two choices - customize the adapter for Informix or use SQLTemplate.

I think that also for specify "lower( strField) like $what" I
should use SQLTemplate, is it correct?
I'm askig becouse I use Informix as database server and I must
express that "like" operation should be done in a case-insensitive
manner...

Hi Tobias,
Unfortunately mixing expressions and aggregate syntax is not
possible. You'd have to use SQLTemplate.

I like cayenne expressions a lot, instead of writing complex

these path expressions are very handy. Though I haven't found a
way to
express things I use to have in the SELECT part of an SQL
statement. When I
need distinct values, aggregations. how can I do things like SELECT
DISTINCT ... SUM(), etc.
Ideally I would like to use path Expression to define my select
but apply
my own SELECT string for the execution. Is that possible?
thanks
Tobias
