                     17: The current version of DBKit does not provide a way to filter the records fetched by a detail FetchGroup. DBKit does not allow a qualifier to be built into a relationship, nor does it allow a qualifier to be permanently attached to a FetchGroup. The Association example provides a way to do filtering of detail records by using a subclass of DBAssociation that replaces the default association which exists between the master FetchGroup and the detail FetchGroup. In this example, the user can change the criteria of the qualifier by entering a new value in the quantity field and pressing the
