[ILUG] Monty Interview

[Niall]

Two questions:

1) Any idea when subselects will arrive ?  (I'm sure you're sick of this
question :-) )

2) Why were subselects such a big issue ? I'm not by any means an export C
programmer, and I know very little about database internals, but I'm
curious as to what made it so difficult. I've implemented my own little
mini sub-select parser in Perl, and it was not exactly difficult. I can
see that for general use, there may be major issues of efficiency etc. but
I'd have preferred an inefficient implementation to none at all.
