    <p>At the moment there isn't an official way to send data to clients without writing it to a collection. Its a little tricker in meteor because the step to send data to multiple clients when there isn't a place to write to comes from when multiple meteor's are used together. I.e items sent from one meteor won't come to clients subscribed on the other.</p> <p>There is a temporary solution using Meteor Streams (<a href="http://meteorhacks.com/introducing-meteor-streams.html" rel="nofollow">http://meteorhacks.com/introducing-meteor-streams.html</a>) that can let you do what you want without writing to the database in the meanwhile.</p> <p>There is also a pretty extensive discussion about this on meteor-talk (<a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/meteor-talk/Ze9U9lEozzE" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/meteor-talk/Ze9U9lEozzE</a>) if you want to understand some of the technical details. This will actually become possible when the linker branch is merged into master, for a single server</p> <p>Here's a bit of way to have a 'virtual collection, its not perfect but it can do until Meteor has a more polished way of having it done.</p> <pre><code>Meteor.publish("virtual_collection", function() { this.added("virtual_coll", "some_id_of_doc", {key: "value"}); //When done this.ready() }); </code></pre> <p>Then subscribe to this on the client:</p> <pre><code>var Virt_Collection = new Meteor.Collection("virtual_coll"); Meteor.subscribe("virtual_collection"); </code></pre> <p>Then you could run this when the subscription is complete:</p> <pre><code>Virt_Collection.findOne(); =&gt; { _id: "some_id_of_doc", key: "value"} </code></pre> <p>This is a bit messy but you could also hook into it to update or remove collections. At least this way though you won't be using any plugins or packages.</p> <p>See : <a href="https://www.eventedmind.com/posts/meteor-how-to-publish-to-a-client-only-collection" rel="nofollow">https://www.eventedmind.com/posts/meteor-how-to-publish-to-a-client-only-collection</a> for more details and a video example.</p>

    1. COThank you. I am actually fine with the Meteor way of handling things, but it seems like database access would incur some performance hits. To be more precise, I am trying to make a very simple HTML5 game with Meteor and KineticJS. I have multiple players controlling their avatars onscreen and sending each player's position through the mongodb. This method seems to have some performance hits. So I was wondering if it was this extra step of db access that was to blame.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
