Code or Databases????

[Sonic Baker]

Hi there,

I've read before that it's faster and even recommended to sum values at the DB level through queries. So if I wanted to get a list of items sold between certain dates, calculate tax totals, etc I should do this through queries.

However, I'm not sure how portable it would be to do this through Cake's DB abstraction layer as I'm not sure how other DBMS's handle summing functions etc..

Has anyone any experience with this? What would you recommend?

Cheers,

Sonic
