There is nothing that is user-friendly, but of course it would be nice to marry the two.

SQLTemplate processing is based on a Velocity template, so it should be theoretically possible to merge it with SQL generated by SelectQuery translators. Can't predict how hard or easy this can be, but look in access.jdbc and access.trans packages if you want to try it yourself.

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 joins
in sql
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
