Hi,

We have been using cocobase v4.5 in our previous project & we didn't have scenario's dealing with complex queries involving unions, multiple joins, subselect's etc. I have two questions reg. cocobase usage for our new project.

1) Now for our new project, we are getting cocobase v5.0 & would like to know whether it supports union operation.

2) In our new migration project, we use extensively complex queries involving unions, multiple joins, subselects in every sql query. Can u pls. suggest on how do i create cocobase maps for complex queries as given below. How do i handle these scenario's in cocobase?

CocoBase 5 supports this in the same manner as cb 4.x: either
by hardcoding the sql into sql maps or by using CBQuery api. CBQuery supports UNION, INTERSECT and MINUS operations. Basically, each UNION argument would be a CBQuery instance q1 and q2, and then one has to call:

q1.addSetQuery(CBQuery.UNION,q2);

That's how it would work. The other option is to simply create a sql map in the CB5 workbench by issuing a 'build' and edit it so it can provide a sql similar to the one below. The SQL editor in CB5 is very similar to the one in CB45 once it is engaged.

You have access to all of the same features in CB5, that you had in CB45, you just have new GUI workbench tooling, and additional JPA/EJB3 API support available.

Does that help?
