The purpose of this is to support the annoying limitation that results must be a rectangular matrix. I tweeted this Oct 28th so clearly it solves a problem practitioners already agree with https://x.com/tomlarkworthy/status/1718329733274824783?s=20 https://x.com/tomlarkworthy/status/1718329733274824783?s=20
Many useful result sets are not rectangular, trees, graphs etc. There is no way to efficiently transfer these results sets in a single query. You either do multiple round trips or pad the leaves with repeated information which eats network bandwidth.
So I am hugely in favour of this work.
- naasking 3y agoIsn't the repeated information trivially compressible using a suitable run-length encoding? As long as the result set is ordered properly of course.
- tlarkworthy 3y agoYes it should be compressible trivially
