I have a simulation of moving objects that interact with each other. If I store the object positions as coordinates, I think I will need at least one database call for every object to determine intersections. [for N objects there are N database calls]
I'm wondering if I could do the same thing storing object positions as an equation. An equation where if I plug in any point of time t, I could determine where the object will be at that time. i.e., for y = t + 5 and t = 3 the y position is 8. Is there a way store equations with one variable in MySQL such that I could compare them for intersections by plugging in values for the variable? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
