Hello,
I was wondering if there were a way to specify a qualifier on a to-
many relationship in a batch fetch (ERXBatchFetchUtilities) or
prefetch command? I see you can specify the key paths, but what if
I only want to pre/batch fetch rows based on some qualifier for a
key path, instead of just getting them all pre-loaded? Or would the
possible time savings to do this not worth the effort? What if say
you have 10000 total rows to be fetched, but you only really need
5000 of them based on some qualifier?
That is not what prefetching and batch fetching are for. You want a
qualified fetch, so you will need to make another fetch spec. BUT if
you have A ->> B and fetch A and a subset of the B relationship, if
you ever touch a.b() in code, the rest of the objects will be fetched
as faults.
