Hello All,

I'm not really sure this is something any ORM should do, but I have a
question.

I want to return a list of categories with the number of products in each,
but I might have 100 categories, so I'm looking for a way to get
CategoryTitle and ProductCount for n-categories using a single query. Does
Reactor happen to have any such "aggregate" support? I couldn't find
anything, it really isn't something I've seen in ORMs, but it is a use case
that (for some reason) comes up time and time again for me.

Any starting points or would I just use the query object to compose my own
custom SQL (and does it support subqueries in a select statement)?

FYI, the "old style" SQL (for MSSQL) would be something like:

SELECT cat.categoryTitle, ( SELECT count(prod.productID) FROM tbl_Product
prod WHERE prod.productCategoryID = cat.CategoryID ) AS productCount
FROM tbl_Category cat

Any thoughts appreciated.

Best Wishes,
Peter
