I have to GORM domains, A & B, that relate to database tables. A has a one-to-many relationship with B. Because of this, the classes look similar to:
class A {
B b
Long id
}
class B {
Long id
}
When I retrieve an instance of A the ID of the corresponding instance of B is retrieved from the database. However, when I attempt to access that ID via something like:
A a = A.get(11)
Long bid = a.b.id
the whole object is loaded from the database. In some cases I only want the ID of B (which has already been retrieved) and do not want to load the whole instance from the database. Is there a way to get the ID from B without going back and fetching the whole object.
NOTE: I know that it is doing an extra fetch on the line with a.b.id
above because I can see the SQL being generated since I turned on the loggingSql
option in my DataSource file.
