Hi Andrus; Thanks for the speedy response.
I saw this facility in the 2.0 API. I would rather not have free-form query strings in my code; I prefer compiling against the Cayenne query-assembly objects. Do you think this would be a tricky thing for me to safely implement in the 3.0-TRUNK? cheers. > We had this functionality prior to Cayenne 3.0.
