I was also looking at doing doSelect() from multiple tables and got it working
well enough. Basically what I've done is to create a new method - something like
ProductPeer.doSelectWithVendor() that created a join between the two tables and
called Product.setVendor for each row.
I was thinking in making this easier with Torque, but I'd like to see what you've
done. I found that my "lazy instantiate" tended to be a *lot* slower that a join
in the peer. Could you may elaborate on what you've done, please. Maybe send me
some source-code by private e-mail.
I'm truly sorry that I haven't uploaded my template base Torque yet - It is
finished and I've been trying since Friday, but ran into one brick wall after
another :-( Will do soon, promise!
