What you *can't* do out of the box is ask "hey, what products

needs solutions like the ones to which I was referring.
In other words: if you want an index of references (or any
attribute for
that matter), you have to set it up (just as you would for a RDBMS).
but i could just loop over all the products checking the brand.
You could...
and if that statement doesnt set off alarm bells then i feel
comfortable in
my understanding
...but you'd kill kittens, er no, you'd take an inordinate amount of
time
to find things. That's what indexes are for, after all.
unless it was a rather limited list of items...
if not how i managed to
1. misinterpret something and
2. how i managed to write code that actually supported that
misinterpretation.
I can't tell from here. ;)
neither can i til i dig up the code.
