Database Queries the Easy Way using Transfer Query Language
Transfer ORM provides you with a lot of functionality in terms of managing and modelling the data in your system, but it also provides you with the tools to do complex database queries, with a fraction of the code that you would normally write. Transfer Query Language is SQL-like scripting language that is built into Transfer ORM that allows you to do complex queries against your database, with far less code than conventional SQL. By utilising the XML configuration of Transfer, TQL can generate a large amount of the underlying SQL for you, while also allowing you to build queries that are based on your object model, which removes the need to concept shift back to the relational database model when developing.
