Discussion on today's telcon

Hi Richard:
I'm thinking about the discussion we had on the telcon this morning and 
I have a couple of questions.

Let us agree on the premise that MySQL does a poor job of optimizing SQL 
queries that contain
subqueries and that using such views would entail a serious performance hit.
You said that the R2RQ approach helps rewrite such queries in a form 
that is more performant.
Could you give us an example of how it does that?

Second, suppose we go with the SQL-View approach could we not add a 
Informative Note that
said "If you are using MySQL and your view has one or more subqueries in 
it then you may take
a performance hit.  We suggest that you rewrite the view in the 
following manner ..." 
Does that make sense?

All the best, Ashok
