Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/31811 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/31811 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: chx Reported by: chx Updated by: robertDouglass Status: patch (code needs review) I wonder if this will result in a large number of queries that are related for a module, and if so, whether we should introduce a realm on the storage table? The advantage would be that we could load all the storage-variables of one realm together. The reasoning is, if I need one of the variables I set in my module, I'm likely to need most or all of them, at which point it seems like it would be more efficient to load them all. Perhaps the solution, in fact, is to add a realm column to the variables table? Then we could differentiate between different blocks of related data and load it into conf as needed. robertDouglass Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wed, 21 Sep 2005 05:43:15 +0000 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/storage.patch (1.93 KB) Talk is silver, code is gold, so instead of talking about http://drupal.org/node/31801 , let's look at some code. Untested patch and needs a simple DB script, too.
