Hi Graham,
Try using the addSelectColumn() method on APeer class, and BPeer class.

Hi all,

I am struggling with a database query that is giving an error about the presence of specific column names, and as torque takes control over the column names I am in the dark as to what torque is or isn't doing.

The query generated by torque attempts to order results by two columns, like this:

SELECT DISTINCT FROM a, b WHERE a.policy_id=b.policy_id ORDER BY b.underwriting_year DESC, a.policydetail_id DESC;

Being printed out from a Criteria object, the column names are missing, as torque fills these in for you.

Postgres fails on this query with the error "ERROR: for SELECT DISTINCT, ORDER BY expressions must appear in select list"

The trouble is, I do not know what the select list is, because torque fills that bit in during the query - I have no mechanism (that I know of) to see the final query that hits the database.

If I use a select list of "*" (as in "SELECT DISTINCT * FROM...") the query works and postgres is happy, so the query itself seems fine, it seems that torque is leaving out the columns specified in orderby.

Does torque give the user any control over the columns being selected in the query?

Am I doing something wrong in the following code?

criteria.addJoin(BPeer.POLICYDETAIL_ID, APeer.POLICYDETAIL_ID);
criteria.addDescendingOrderByColumn(BPeer.UNDERWRITING_YEAR);
criteria.addDescendingOrderByColumn(APeer.POLICYDETAIL_ID);
APeer.doSelect(criteria);

Regards,
Graham
