Is Pull Always Bad?
- Of course not
- might be the only way to do something
- might be the best way
- Pull is useful when
- output is in a specific order, not the order of input
(many database and transaction applications)
- data is very regular
- Not so good if
- data is irregular
- data order is unknown (like most text)
- hierarchy can change (like most text)
(Pull works best in a data environment)
