Hi Melissa,
Thanks for the name change suggestion.
When I log the test fetch results:
NSArray *testFetchResults = [managedObjectContext
fetchObjectsForEntityName:@"Owner" withPredicate:[NSString
stringWithFormat:@"ANY books.name like 'myPrefix*'"]];
NSLog([[(Owner *)[testFetchResults objectAtIndex:0] books]
valueForKey:@"name"]);
I get the following sample output:
----------
{(
"foo",
"bar",
"myPrefix-v1",
"myPrefix-v2"
)}
----------
These were the four test Book objects I originally associated with one
Owner, and then saved to the managed object context.
I'm unclear why the predicate statement:
@"ANY books.name like 'myPrefix*'"
would return all books, whether their name starts with 'myPrefix' or
not. The output I would expect is:
----------
{(
"myPrefix-v1",
"myPrefix-v2"
)}
----------
Should I be using a different predicate to retrieve Book objects with
the names "myPrefix-v1" and "myPrefix-v2"?
Regards,
Alex

That's not an error, it's an unfired to-many relationship fault. If
you call a method on it (say [testFetchResults valueForKey:@"name"])
it will fire and look more like what you're expecting.
BTW, it's generally a bad idea to use uppercase key names. The ivar
'Book' should probably be 'books', and 'Owner' should be
'owner' (the class names are fine the way they are).
