Thanks Lars.

I was the biggest user of the datamart until last year and I agree to your
suggestion of using the webapi. The webapi is better in performance and
ideally it can do almost everything with addition of a few SQLviews in case
of too specific requirements.

Thanks for the great work Dev team.
