Hi, Steve,
That is very useful.
All we want to do is to process a large amount of data.
I found loops of recursive queries are very time consuming and will not
finish on time.
Measures like indexing are simply not adequate to address the problem.
I am thinking of making use of Linux capability to fire off concurrent
processors.
So long as it is efficient, we can always work out how to ask it to return
results.
Regards,
David
