Question

Getting a unique list of values

1

Instead of iterating through a lot of records to find unique column values, how can I do that l efficiently in Mendix? Traditionally I would build the list via microflow, but retrieving all the records from the DB could be too expensive an operation.

If a microflow action would be to expensive, maybe do it with a java action. See https://forum.mendix.com/questions/1581/Retrieve-distinct-attribute-values-from-java for some ideas.
