Re: OR?

For now you just say

   new SQuery...rawPredicate("NAME LIKE '?' OR NAME = '?", "SM%", "Jones")...

Ie raw SQL fragment.

The goal of SQuery is to cover the 90% of simple queries, and provide 
the full power of SQL for the rest.  Thus to keep it simple.

or() was dropped in 3.* because the semantics were not quite 
clear.  A disjunction operator could be added later if really useful, 
but there are hard choices as to what the syntax should really be.

A more useful thing to me would be able to do subselects with something like

...gt(Employee.SALARY).value(Employee.DEPARTMENT, Department.MAX_SALARY)

Contributions along these lines would be most welcome.

Just because it is possible to push twigs along the ground with ones nose
does not necessarily mean that is the best way to collect firewood.
