Hello All, I have opened a bug case in bugzilla for the ESQL logicsheet: it doesn't behave correctly for some kinds of grouped resultsets (<esql:group>). I have tried to debug the logicsheet but it's far too complex to understand (yet alone debug...) Suffice to say that most logicsheets in the same dir are about 10-20kb in size, and esql.xsl is about 55kb...
A rather daunting question: would it be wise for use to be thinking about reimplementing the ESQL logicsheet, just to scale down its complexity? I have rewritten the xsd schema, simplifying the <esql:get-*> elements.. (really, why did there had to be a separate element for each datatype?). Another big problem is that of poor documentation: Except from the userdoc "howto", there is very little to go from there.. I think that starting from a properly documented schema would be of major importance. I am attaching a schema I derived from the one that I downloaded from 2.0.2-dev CVS. Please take a look and post any thoughts you might have...thanks! Elias
