Hello, I have some rules that go out to a database to pull values for conditions in my rules, is this something that isn't wise to do? Problem is that with even a small set of facts about ~5500, things take a while to run with about 100 rules. Most of the time, we are thinking is from the db access. It would take several hours to finish. We want to see if we can get this down to under 30mins or better. So the question is what is the best way handle these conditions, should we make the queries before running the rules and loading them as facts in the engine or is there some other means to do this more efficiently?
