Is SimpleCondition available?

[githubyong]

spring-data-jdbc:2.1.1
I am use SimpleCondition for simple custom query, but errors occurred durring the query.

Table table_user = SQL.table("User");
Select select = StatementBuilder
      .select(table_user.column("name"),table_user.column("age"))
      .from(table_user)
      .where(SimpleCondition.create("age",">","20"))
      .build();
String sql = sqlRenderer.render(select);

the error log:

The underlying problem is that SimpleCondition creates a Column with a null table, which really should be an Expression.just instead.

But then one realises SimpleCondition doesn't get rendered properly and there is already Comparison which does the same thing except for the convenience of using String arguments. I wonder if we should just remove SimpleCondition.

At the very least you can replace the SimpleCondition with a Comparison.

[githubyong]

yeah, but a small suggestion : SimpleCondition create(String column, String comparator, String predicate)is more understandable and comfortable than Comparison create(Expression leftColumnOrExpression, String comparator,Expression rightColumnOrExpression) .
