Hi,

Using QL queries does not permit to choose the attributes to select from a chosen entity. For example,

select all the instances from the "User" entity : from User u select u -> returns all the "User" instances, with all the attributes
select only the name of the users from "User" entity : from User u select u.name -> returns all the "User" instances, with all the attributes

Thank you for the help :)

It is by design that we always return the object, but I think the second query should only return the object with only the "name" field set.

btw, #52 will change this, and make it more like you would expect.

benatspo commented 4 years ago

Yes, it will :)

closing this, as the behavior has changed to be more like SQL (you specify the columns you want, we don't return objects anymore)
