That might be useful depending on your use case, but I don't think DeviceMap should impose that - I'd much prefer an abstract interface to a storage/retrieval/query component that could be SQL, but also in-memory, NoSQL or whatever makes sense in the user's environment. IIUC you already have code that works on SQL, did you send an URL to that already? Might be interesting to look at, having something concrete to compare with the current implementation might help design the abstract interface that I'm thinking about. -Bertrand
