[Freebase-discuss] advanced top-level link query question

[augusto callejas]

hi-

in the query below, i'm querying the "/people/person/children" property in my "source" query node:

===
[{
  "type":          "/type/link",
  "source": {
    "timestamp":     null,
    "id":            "/en/tom_cruise",
    "/people/person/children": []
  },
  "operation":     null,
  "master_property": null,
  "timestamp":     null,
  "sort":          "timestamp"
}]
===

results below indicate that the "source" results are queried as of now:

===
[
    {
      "master_property": "/type/object/permission",
      "operation":     "insert",
      "source": {
        "/people/person/children": [
          "Suri Cruise",
          "Isabella Jane Cruise",
          "Connor Antony Cruise",
          "Connor Anthony Cruise"
        ],
        "id":        "/en/tom_cruise",
        "timestamp": "2006-10-22T09:28:09.0070Z"
      },
      "timestamp":     "2006-10-22T09:28:09.0071Z",
      "type":          "/type/link"
    }
]
===

is there a way for the results of "source" to be the state of the database as of the time of the link's timestamp?

there is the "as_of_time" envelope parameter, that wouldn't work in this case because "as_of_time" applies for
the entire query and i want it to be as of the time of each link's timestamp.

thanks,
augusto.
