Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The product management team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notification on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

After further review, the Custom REST End Points functionality that debuted in OpenPaes 8.0.0.2 will satisfy this request.
As far as providing a more specific capability "out of the box"... IBM has considered the request. While we are aligned with the request, it is unlikely to be addressed in the next 18 months. If this request receives continued customer interest, it may be resubmitted for consideration after 18 months from the submit date.
Also to add to my original point, general math functions would be extremely helpful for the same reason listed below. Without them we have to keep pushing it down to custom code. I know it was mentioned that getting away from triggers and helpers would be 'the future' but that is only possible if we have a more robust selection of functions with the query API.
Right now the ideas were brought up because of OP's BPM integration, being able to handle returns easier if you could take only the top few records or last few records to handle as work units.
A COUNT is great primarily because it easily reduces network traffic containing sensitive information. Imagine (as we do now) returning a huge table from a query just to handle and review it in a trigger or integrated app, when you just need a COUNT. We keep having to push the work onto another application rather than just not pass all the data in the first place.
Hi Warren,
Could you provide some Use Cases that describe the overall scenarios that you are trying to satisfy?
Thanks,
