While this is not related to the %subj%, I've glanced and the link above.
And I found this complex. (As many many many "nice featured" things
on the market today.) Could you tell me please, for example, why the
URLs like
/databases/:database_name/schemas/:schema_name/tables/:table_name
OR
/databases/:database_name/schemas/:schema_name/table/:table_name/indexes/:index_name
Whats wrong with SQL way to get such info from sys. catalogs or
the information schema?
I guess, I know the answer -- "its just pretty nice and clear". But
I think it's just a waste of time (of users which should learn all of
these fancies, and developers which should implement them).
