no I was rather thinking at what is provided by select_by: ie: an implicit
join on the tables.
 
If I use select_by, I cannot use limit= and parameters= so I tried to use
select but I see all the time I need to specify the join condition that I
already put into the mapper (via properties = relation(...)).

So I wander:

  1. why the implicit behaviour of select_by (ie: join) isn't the default
     of a mapper that was already prepared to be a join? As I told in a
     prevuous message and if I undertsand it correctly this leads to a CROSS
     JOIN that is probably not what anybody looks for...

  2. alternatively: why can't I use limit= and parameters= for select_by?

Thanks again...
