which gets into QFP (Query Fragment Pushdown) which some engines (well.. remote ones really, or ones that store computed agregates or can execute them better) is aiming to do... there's some proof of concept stuff in NDB for this now (although the SQL server part is the tricky horrible bit). there's rather crazy advanced levels you can go to with it (which some may find useful)... but small steps is the winning point :) -- Stewart Smith _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
