Introduction

Union Soups

As the name implies, a union soup is one larger soup combined from member soups across multiple stores (see FIGURE 9.7). For example, a "Names" union soup would include the entries from all the "Names" soups on all resident stores. Here are the important points about union soups:

When a soup is modified, you can get notified--this happens, for instance, when a card is inserted or deleted. When this happens, you'll probably want to redisplay your view with the current entries from the soup.
