I am using Core Data and have a two entity setup that in a simple form
could be modelled something like this:
Entity: Persons
- attribute: name
- attribute: birth
- relationship: cars (one to many with cars)
Entiry: Cars
- attribute: name
I would like to search for all persons not born on the date varDate
that have cars. I can do the search for all records/objects where the
date in the attribute birth is not equal to varDate, I can do this
with something like:
[request setPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"birth != %@",
self.varDate]];
but I am having difficulty figuring out how to write the predicate for
the relationship data, I would like something like:
[request setPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"cars !=
%@", NULL]];
Could someone help me write this predicate and show me the best way to
combine it with the first predicate?
I would do something like:
NSPredicate *birthPredicate = [NSPredicate
predicateWithFormat:@"birth != %@", self.varDate]];
NSPredicate *carPredicate = [NSPredicate
predicateWithFormat:@"ca...@count != 0"
NSPredicate *cp = [NSCompoundPredicate andPredicatewithSubpredicates:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:birthPredicate, carPredicate]];
[request setPredicate:cp];
I haven't actually checked that's quite right, but that's close.
