Ah ha, thought how to reduce the problem size down to 12 groups 🙂Since the Roles with multiple groups consist of<=12 groups and the rest of the all I need to to do is filter the LDAP data and reduce it those entries that are in the set of groups that are part of multi group roles!...yippeee
Original problem is
A role consists of between 1 and x groups from a set of x groups.
A role can only have a particular group once.
A user may have more than one role
Example:
Role | Group
Helpdesk | Password Reset
Security | Password Reset,
Security | Enable User
Reception | Enable User
Reception | Disable User
The data I have is of the form
User | Group
SmithA | Password Reset
SmithA | Enable User
BloggsJ | Password Reset
MouseM | Enable User
MouseM | Disable User
From that I need to deduce the users have the following roles
User | Role
SmithA | Security
BloggsJ | Helpdesk
MouseM | Reception
Thanks
So does this mean you have a suitable solution now?
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
