SQL to Expression

Question

Hello,
Can someone help me transform this SQL query into a TopLink Expression :
select attri1Tab1, attri2Tab1 from tab1
where attri1 like '45%'
and tab1Id1 in
(select tab2Id1 from tab2
where attri1Tab2 ='1');
--> where tab2Id1 is the foreign key to tab1Id1.
One of my problems is that I have two Java Client classes for the two tables, and in the :
vector objects = session.readAllObjects(jsftoplink.model.tab1.class, complex)
(in one Java Client class)
I can only call one class.
Thank you.
Chris

Hi Dave,
The following is what you need to do to get the actual SQL that TopLink will send (regardless of query type, binding or no binding), and then modify it:
request.prepareCall((oracle.toplink.publicinterface.Session)session, request.rowFromArguments(vectorOfQueryArgs));
SQLCall call = request.getCall();
String sql = call.getSQLString();
call.setSQLString(sql + " " + HINT);
The vectorOfQueryArgs is the collection of arguments needed to execute the query - this can be an empty Vector if the query doesn't take any. Since the query has been prepared already, SQL string changes can be set on the SQLCall itself to save TopLink having to create a new SQLCall object and parse the string.
