  - dynamicQuery
```
public static DynamicQuery dynamicQuery()
```
  - dynamicQuery
```
public static <T> List<T> dynamicQuery(DynamicQuery dynamicQuery)
```
    Performs a dynamic query on the database and returns the matching rows.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dynamicQuery - the dynamic query
    
    Returns:
    
    the matching rows
  - dynamicQuery
```
public static <T> List<T> dynamicQuery(DynamicQuery dynamicQuery,
                                       int start,
                                       int end)
```
    Performs a dynamic query on the database and returns a range of the matching rows.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil.ALL_POS will return the full result set. If orderByComparator is specified, then the query will include the given ORDER BY logic. If orderByComparator is absent and pagination is required (start and end are not QueryUtil.ALL_POS), then the query will include the default ORDER BY logic from GroupModelImpl. If both orderByComparator and pagination are absent, for performance reasons, the query will not have an ORDER BY clause and the returned result set will be sorted on by the primary key in an ascending order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dynamicQuery - the dynamic query
    
    start - the lower bound of the range of model instances
    
    end - the upper bound of the range of model instances (not inclusive)
    
    Returns:
    
    the range of matching rows

                                       OrderByComparator<T> orderByComparator)
```
    Performs a dynamic query on the database and returns an ordered range of the matching rows.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil.ALL_POS will return the full result set. If orderByComparator is specified, then the query will include the given ORDER BY logic. If orderByComparator is absent and pagination is required (start and end are not QueryUtil.ALL_POS), then the query will include the default ORDER BY logic from GroupModelImpl. If both orderByComparator and pagination are absent, for performance reasons, the query will not have an ORDER BY clause and the returned result set will be sorted on by the primary key in an ascending order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dynamicQuery - the dynamic query
    
    start - the lower bound of the range of model instances
    
    end - the upper bound of the range of model instances (not inclusive)

```
public static List<Group> getGroups(int start,
                                    int end)
```
    Returns a range of all the groups.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil.ALL_POS will return the full result set. If orderByComparator is specified, then the query will include the given ORDER BY logic. If orderByComparator is absent and pagination is required (start and end are not QueryUtil.ALL_POS), then the query will include the default ORDER BY logic from GroupModelImpl. If both orderByComparator and pagination are absent, for performance reasons, the query will not have an ORDER BY clause and the returned result set will be sorted on by the primary key in an ascending order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - the lower bound of the range of groups
    
    end - the upper bound of the range of groups (not inclusive)
    
    Returns:
    
    the range of groups
