Hi there

Out of curiosity ....

Long time ago I was working with Infomix (now IBM) Universal Server, that
had a data type 'html' implemented as data blade. Through data blades you
could extend the sql engine with your own data types.

Can't remember exactly how it worked but you could store html with embedded
'sql code' in the database.
If you ran a query against that 'page', values from the query where passed
to the code in the page and then the page was evaluated directly by the
database engine. The output was plain html as in evaluating php by a
webserver.

So is there similar work underway with php being evaluated directly by
mysql, instead of the web server ?

Cheers
Heinz
