     168 * @value: value used in comparison 
     169 * 
     170 * Adds a constraint to the given query builder. The constraint is 
     171 * expressed as a triple of a field name, a comparison operator, and 
     172 * a comparison value.  
     173 *  
     174 * <para> 
     175 * @name referes to a property of the queried Midgard object class.  
     176 * For example: #MidgardQueryBuilder has been initialized for person  
     177 * class which has lastname property registered. 
     178 * <example> 
     179 * <programlisting> 
     180 *  
     181 * GValue value = {0, };

     190 * <para> 
     191 * It also can be name of the linked class property or reserved one.  
     192 * A dot '.' is used to separate properties for special constraints. 
     193 * If such special constraint property is used, #MidgardQueryBuilder 
     194 * performs right join. 
     195 * <itemizedlist> 
     196 * <listitem><para> 
     197 * First property is the one registered for given class which is a link 
     198 * to property of different class. Second is a property of target class. 
     199 * For example: person object has property 'friend' which holds some identifier 
     200 * (id or guid) to friend class property, and friend class has property 'nick'. 
     201 * In such case we can use constraint and comparison using friend property, 
     202 * even if #MidgardQueryBuilder has been initialized for person class.

     204 * <programlisting>

     206 * GValue value = {0, }; 
     207 * g_value_init(&value, G_TYPE_STRING);

     215 * <listitem><para> 
     216 * There are three reserved words which have special meaning for query builder. 
     217 * 'metadata', 'parameter' and 'attachment'. If one of them is used, query builder 
     218 * will make (if necessary) right join and query objects against dependent class table.

     220 * <programlisting> 
     221 *  
     222 * GValue value = {0, };
