Can you write me any clues when to use sql transformer and when esql

going to write simple news portal with Xindice or MySQL as DBMS and

I have ask that question before but with no answer!
My personal opinion is that you should use the SQL-transform [a] for 
simple Queries where you do not need much logic in it.
The esql  way would be for something more complex. The advantage of 
using ESQL [b] is the xsp where you can add java code. So this documents 
are more intelligent.
The last way and the you should do way is with actions [c]. That way 
everything is in Java.

...but again I think it depends on the situation.
a. is a transformer
b. a generator
c. is an action.

I tend to use ESQL when I want the output XML in a very specific format
(saves an extra transform step). I've also found ESQL to be slightly
faster than the SQL Transformer in some cases, so it may be worth you
trying both to get a speed comparison. At the end of the day, it really
comes down to personal preference.

Thanks,

Andrew.
