Hi,<br><br>I am using JBoss Rule Engine Drools 3.0 from last 2 months. As i know the rule engine is used in an application where the data or policies will be changing on and on. But i am using in an project which has something different.
<br><br>I am using it for filtering the data. I am having a server where there are lot of processes will be running and each process is having so many attributes. So as i said i am using it for filtering the data based different/combination of attributes. 
<br>But i am not able to understand whether i can use rule engine for this purpose? because samething i can do by executing the SQL query instead of using Rule Engine. <br><br>Whether it makes any sense or it is unneccessary performance bottleneck? if i use what all the merits and demerits?
<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br>Mahantesh.<br><br>
