I'm a huge fan of practical solutions, and this approach is definitely
a good one if you are never going to be dealing with millions of
records. Modern processing can do an awful lot without a "real"
database muddying things up.
The only thing I would add is that if you ARE going to deal with
really large data sets, the only real option is to re-factor your data
with a database in mind. A well designed SQL database can definitely
handle much larger sets of data much faster than Rev because it scales
better for these tasks. That's not a knock on Rev it's simply what a
database is designed to do. However, it make take an upfront
investment is rethinking how you approach and structure your data.
I'm with you on that - use what one knows of mysql to get a bulk
data block,
then use chunk expressions to further parse.... I used to feel
guilty that
I didn't do it all in MYSQL, using views and other tricks, but these
days
I'm ok with it.
