Hello David, Thank you for your reply.

How did you map Torque objects to VIEWs as these wouldn't have been in the xml schema?

I haven't had any other suggestions but I noticed a posting on the Torque developers list: somebody has implemented explicit inner joins, left joins and right joins and offered to contribute his code.

Best Regards,

Tarlika Elisabeth Schmitz

Greetings, Don't know if you got your question answered, but the only way I've done outer joins in Torque is to create a view and then map a torque object to it. Has worked pretty well.

Subject: left outer join

I have 3 tables SECTION and BRAND and MODEL. SECTION is related to BRAND and to MODEL via two foreign keys. I would like to select ALL SECTIONs whether the FKs are null or not and fetch the BRAND and MODEL attributes in one SQL statement. In other words I need a double outer join:

SELECT
SECTION.SECTION_PK,
SECTION.SECTION_NAME,
SECTION.BRAND_FK,
SECTION.MODEL_FK,
BRAND.BRAND_NAME
MODEL.MODEL_NAME
FROM SECTION
left outer join MODEL  on MODEL_PK =MODEL_FK
left outer join BRAND  on BRAND_PK =BRAND_FK

I have seen some old discussion threads from 2002 suggesting that Torque does not support outer joins. Is this still the case?

If so, can anyone suggest an efficient work-around?
