Fetching from Multiple Entities in CoreData:


@interface Employee : NSManagedObject

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * dept;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * email;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * name;
@property (nonatomic, retain) Department *deptEmp;

@end


@interface Department : NSManagedObject

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * location;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * name;
@property (nonatomic, retain) Employee *deptEmp1;

@end

//==========================================================


NSMutableString *queryString = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"deptEmp1.name == %@ AND deptEmp1.location == %@", @"Apple", @"Cupertino"];

NSEntityDescription *entityDescription = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Employee" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];

NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
[request setEntity:entityDescription];
[request setRelationshipKeyPathsForPrefetching:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Department",nil]];
[request setIncludesSubentities:YES];

NSArray* returnArray = [self.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];
if([returnArray count] > 0) {

   Employee* emp = [returnArray objectAtIndex:0];
   NSLog(@"%@ %@ %@", emp.name, emp.dept, emp.deptEmp.location);
}
