In the first part, we begin the search for a faster way to perform aggregates in FileMaker. We cover why aggregates can be quite a costly operation - especially on wide area networks - and use that as a jumping off point for finding a faster method.

In part two, we go into a little more detail about the aggregate technique we developed in the first article. We also carry out a number of comparison aggregate tests and present the results. We also try to address some of the limitations of this technique and ways in which you could try to work around these

Both articles in the series are being released at the same time.

You can check out the full articles over at the main FileMaker Weetbicks site by following the below links
