IFAIK, not directly since Torque is based on a table record object model
and a union statement is not a physical "table". Generally for things
like this, you can drop down a "layer" into the village package
"primitives" and deal with it there. This is very similar to using
native JDBC, but if done correctly, will still preserve the compile
time "schema checking" and DB independent parts of Torque. E.g., using
the Peer objects to define columns and criteria to define the SQL
terms.
However, I'm not sure that village will support UNIONs. So, you might
have to just use JDBC (and the Torque.getConnection methods) to do this.
A possible alternative would be to create a view based on a common
union query and create a Torque object for this view. Then you could
use the standard Torque methods to get the subsets you wanted from the
view.
If you really get inspired, it should be possible to have a generic
"Helper" class to create the union from a couple of criteria objects.
Maybe using standard JDBC or maybe just doing two Village queries. Then
convert these to a list Village Record objects and call the
populateObjects
method in the Peer class you want to have then look like.
Of course, these would be read only objects since which table the record
id
information applied to would be unknown.
Also, if you union is actually coming from two tables with the same
field
names, you could do the same thing as a union with two queries. E.g.
List<BaseObject> r1 = Sales2007Peer.doSelect(c);
List<BaseObject> r2 = Sales2008Peer.doSelect(c);
r1.addAll(r2);
Iterator<BaseObject> it = r1.iterator();
While (it.hasNext() ) {
BaseObject rec = it.next();
Item = rec.getByName("ITEM");
Price = rec.getByName("PRICE");
....
