I've been thinking about a query feature that allows to build HopObject collection on the fly. Under the hood, the query object would be a HopObject with a custom DbMapping. The SQL query would probably be built using a subnodeRelation built from properties of the query object's filter property. These filter conditions could cover a number of common comparison operators:

3	* columnname - add equal to clause for the column
4	* columnname_not_equal - add not equal to clause for the column
5	* columnname_less_than - add less than clause for the column
6	* columnname_greater_than - add greater than clause for the column
7	* columnname_less_or_equal - add a less than or equal to clause for the column
8	* columnname_greater_or_equal - add a greater than or equal for the column
9	* columnname_like - add like clause for the column
10	* columnname_not_like - add not like clause for the column
11	* columnname_is_null - add is null clause for the column
12	* columnname_not_null - add is not null clause for the column

14	Query objects could be created by a constructor or factory function passing the arguments as object literals.
