Refactoring is your friend / moving from 6.x to 9.x

[Bob Sneidar]

For multiple recursions into an array I came up with a method for loading an array into a memory based sql database. Subsequent queries take less time, depending of course on how complex they are, but you can do lots of cool thinks, like complex filtering / sorts, calculations, etc. to a cursor, then I have a function that converts a cursor to an array. 

I originally used it to get the topmost, leftmost, bottommost and rightmost objects on a card that were visible by using min and max queries on a list of the objects. But of course the method can be expanded to do almost anything.
