This is more a "How would you do it" than a "How can i do it" question.
Didn't have time to try it, but i want to know how mysql_seek_row acts
with large result sets.
For example im thinking of building a node tree application that can
have dual direction links to nodes attached to different places.
I was wondering if i could actually have two result sets that query
everything sorted by ID (Links and Nodes) then just seek the rows i need
instead of dumping everything in php memory. When i mean large i mean
really large, more than the standard possible 2 mbs of data allowed by
most php servers.
That's where the "how you'd do it" comes into play. I think i'd just
query my tables, loop them but keep only the line (to do a data_seek
later on) and ID in some kind of an hash table or simply an array. This
would make it relatively fast without taking too much memory.
This is my solution, how do you people see it without dumping everything
to memory or by making recursive SQL calls (which will obviously slow
everything down i'm pretty sure)
