@TheSorrow – Correlate generates a view dynamically on the class where related_to() is called. In any case the documents _id is known to correlate, so it picks them individually from the database.

What about a hybrid approach? I’ve been thinking about using a SQL database and to purely use it to model the essential relationships which need representing (and not to use it to model the entities) and then using a NoSQL database to store the document for fast retrieval. Not sure if that’s been tried before in the NoSQL world or if it’s even feasible…

But how do you fetch the related data ? You need a view… Do you generate the view on the fly ?
