Re: Cayenne 4.2 StringProperty—implement ComparableProperty?

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.
