I have two tables:
Job
job_id, <other data>
Job_Link
job_link_id, job_id, start_timestamp, end_timestamp, <other data>
There may be multiple records in Job_Link specifying the same job_id with the start_timestamp and end_timestamps to indicate when those records are considered "current", it is guaranteed that start_timestamp and end_timestamp will not overlap.
We have entities for both the Job and Job_Link tables and defining a one-to-many relationship to load all the job_links wouldn't be a problem. However we'd like to avoid that and have a single job_link item in the Job entity that will contain only the "current" Job_Link object.
Is there any way to achive that?
