Instance Method Details
- (String) attribute
Returns the attribute name for the receiver’s result group.
- (Object) resultAtIndex(index)
Returns the query result at a specific index.
For performance reasons, you should use this method when retrieving a specific result, rather than they array returned by results.
- (Integer) resultCount
Returns the number of results returned by the receiver.
For performance reasons, you should use this method, rather than invoking count on results.
- (Array) results
Returns an array containing the result objects for the receiver. The results array is a proxy object that is primarily intended for use with Cocoa bindings. While it is possible to copy the proxy array to get a “snapshot” of the complete current query results, it is generally not recommended due to performance and memory issues. To access individual result array elements you should instead use the resultCount and resultAtIndex: methods.
- (Array) subgroups
Returns an array containing the subgroups of the receiver.
- (Object) value
Returns the value of the attribute name for the receiver.
