I thought that @count operates directly on the db, if the to-many is still faulted... Am I mistaken about that? I am pretty sure I've read it is optimized somehow, if not to do a count query on the db, then how? And, if @count does it, why not @sum too?

How is this any different then doing a manual sum? Assuming that the relationship is a fault, and optimized, EOF performs this operation on the DB, you get the latest state saved to the DB. If it is not a fault, you do it in memory, and get the latest state of the context of the relationship's source. Either way, you get the latest of what the context can be aware of. If there are uncommitted additions to "books" in other contexts, you don't get those anyway, before they are committed, right? So, what is the difference? Except for firing a potentially large to-many fault unnecessarily...

Am I missing something?
