Requesting segments on-demand is, in theory, possible. DataScript is written to support queries over data source protocol, which can be a DB (we can then utilize indexes), collection (full scans) or something user-specific. I don’t have working example of that at the moment, but from design perspective, plugging in custom data source with, e.g., on-demand segment loader, is possible. -- Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your first post. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ClojureScript" group.
