    Retrieve multiple objects from the database using the given SQL query and create XOTcl objects from the tuples.

    Switches:
    -dbn
    (optional)
    -sql
    (optional)
    The SQL query to retrieve tuples. Note that if the SQL query only returns a restricted set of attributes, the objects will be only partially instantiated.
    -full_statement_name
    (optional)
    -as_ordered_composite
    (boolean) (defaults to "true") (optional)
    return an ordered composite object preserving the order. If the flag is false, one has to use "info instances" to access the resulted objects.
    -object_class
    (defaults to "::xotcl::Object") (optional)
    specifies the XOTcl class, for which instances are created.
    -named_objects
    (boolean) (defaults to "false") (optional)
    If this flag is true, the value of the id_column is used for the name of the created objects (object will be named e.g. ::13738). Otherwise, objects are created with the XOTcl "new" method to avoid object name clashes.
    -object_named_after
    (optional)
    -destroy_on_cleanup
    (boolean) (defaults to "true") (optional)
    If this flag is true, the objects (and ordered composite) will be automatically destroyed on cleanup (typically after the request was processed).
    -keep_existing_objects
    (boolean) (defaults to "false") (optional)
    -ignore_missing_package_ids
    (boolean) (defaults to "false") (optional)
    -initialize
    (defaults to "true") (optional)
    can be used to avoid full initialization, when a large series of objects is loaded. Per default, these objects are initialized via initialize_loaded_object, when the are of type ::xo::db::Object
