Hi!

I have a small question concerning the capabilities of OQL. If I have read correctly in the developer's manual, all the Query classes derive from the EntityQuery class. That means that they should always return a business object. What happens when I create passthru queries based on the following raw SQL statements:

1) SELECT name, email from Customer;

2) SELECT COUNT(*) from Customer; If I understood correctly, do I have in this case to retrieve all the Customer objects and then read the count property of their list?

Ok I found the answer, a Dynamic Entity should be what I am looking for...
