Making 'OR' Queries in Google App Engine Data Model

Question

I want to make a query like this "Select name from Person where Address="" OR age="" ". Is that possible in the GAE model. All things include AND closure and not OR. How can i do that with JDO/JPA, Objectify. Thanks in advance

Answer 2

There is no "OR" operation on the datastore. You must do two separate queries and find the intersection in your own code.
