Because my recipes don't work with tables the same way yours do.  If you 
would like to look at a script -- an actual, functioning recipe that you 
can try, with all the code in context, and heavily annotated -- please 
visit Cookbooks/DataQuery.  Of course it requires the Database Standard 
that's on the Database Standard page, so if you've modified your copy 
you'll need a fresh one.

...out of context.  But the pieces of code you've posted don't work with 
the rest of the code I write, because you and I do not write code the 
same way.  I hope at least that much has become clear from our 
conversation.  If you will give me a PHP script, in its entirety, with a 
<?php at the start and a ?> at the end, that I can put on my server and 
try, and analyze, then I will try again to understand the benefits of 
your system.

Until then, that's all I have to say. --Ben
