Answer 1

Yes you can. Where.exists() has been supported my ORMLite for some time. Here are the [meager] docs:

http://ormlite.com/docs/exists

You would do something like the following:

QueryBuilder<Visit, Integer> visitQb = visitDao.queryBuilder();
visitQb.where().eq(Visit.CLIENT_ID_FIELD, client.getId());
QueryBuilder<Client, Integer> clientQb = clientDao.queryBuilder();
clientQb.where().exists(visitQb);
List<Client> results = clientQb.query();
