If and when we will get functions that can return rowsets (IIRC Oracle's 
RETURN AND CONTINUE)the simplest case can be easily implemented by
having 
a user-defined method that just does the query for the whole table (or 
for rows where "field in (x,y,z)"

Then putting this in a view and then using it as a table should also 
be quite simple (or at least possible ;).

Only after that should we start optimizing ...
