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 ...
