Hi, Missed this thread. I just didn't imagine that there is a use case for that. But as long as it is supported by DBs, I think this should be supported by Cayenne as well.

Although I'd personally never design a DB or a system that requires this, I work with a couple of legacy systems that use comparison of string fields ("someString">"otherString" etc.). Doing a little googling seems to show that it's also a bit of a practice and widely supported by DBs. > > So… Do you think StringProperty should implement ComparableProperty? I'm torn myself. It feels wrong—but if it's supported by DBs and widely used, perhaps the Cayenne API should allow for that? > > Cheers, > - hugi -- Best regards, Nikita Timofeev
