Hi Mathias,
The main reason why 1) and 3) cannot be done is that SelectQuery (and almost
any other fetching query) should support fetch size/limit and paging. This
makes "local" data useless, because we don't know where insert it to.
The reason of 2) is that Cayenne uses caching of data objects, which greatly
increases performance. So object is basically the same. You can "refresh"
the cache using RefreshQuery.
Hope that helps,
