How to implement server-side filtering w/ flex 4

Question

I've got Flex 4, Zend and php. I've set up paging in my datagrid but how do I do server-side filtering? I have about millions of records so obviously can't do client side filtering...I've been googling all day w/ no luck. Anyone been able to do it or can point me to a tutorial?

Answer 1

I would assume to filter, you would collect filter text from the user and then ping the server with the 'filter text'; perform some form of SQL Statement on the data, then then send back the updated recordset.

Are you looking for something different? What do you mean by paging?

I thought that LiveCycle had some way to associate a dataset on the client with a dataset on the server to support the loading of data "as you scroll" through the list based class. I did not think such functionality was available elsewhere.
