What is the difference between Fetch and Query?

Question

To me, PetaPoco's Database.Fetch and Database.Query seem to be doing the same thing.

For example,

var db = new PetaPoco.Database("myDB");
ProductList products = db.Fetch<ProductList>("SELECT * FROM ProductList");
ProductList products = db.Query<ProductList>("SELECT * FROM ProductList");

Is there any significant difference between them?

Answer 1

According to the PetaPoco documentation, this is the answer:

Query vs Fetch

The Database class has two methods for retrieving records Query and Fetch. These are pretty much identical except Fetch returns a List<> of POCO's whereas Query uses yield return to iterate over the results without loading the whole set into memory.
