Extern: Allow path searches in CQL
Extern: https://gitlab.com/caosdb/caosdb-server/-/issues/104 Created by: Henrik tom Wörden
If you have the situation, that A->B->C
or A->B->B'->C
, and you do not know which is actually in the data, you currently have to use workarounds. For example, recursively query for referencing entities.
Desirable would be to allow this via a query. E.g. FIND RECORD WHICH REFERENCES VIA ENTITIES <id>
or FIND RECORD WHICH REFERENCES VIA <RT> <id>
.

Can we add some concrete use cases here?
I remember some related to the Ice DB.
And does the Geomar already have ideas?
