Re: Server-side type-ahead data for Rev standalone

the closer you are to the data, the faster it is to obtain. SQL is a very simple language - and the text based commands are very versatile. For instance, to get a line delimited list of all the data in the field Device_Name in a database Devices_Main, one would use this: SELECT `Device_Name`
