much less clear.
what do we get - a table, even for millions of movies?
an iterator ("cursor"), possibly keeping a read lock on
the table for some indeterminate time?
a subquery, allowing for further selection?
You could get a fault. The fault could be a place holder that known how
to resolve the relationship.
local someMovies = aStudio.movies -- returns the fault
-- when accessed, the fault resolve the query and let you itinerate
over the result set
for anIndex, aValue in ipairs( someMovies ) then
...
end
-- magically issue a select count( * ) if necessary
local aCount = table.getn( someMovies )
Etc...
Anyway, I'd plea to forget the information_schema and instead
configure the wrapper in Lua, which will actually be much more
portable.
Care to elaborate on what such "Lua wrapper" would do?
