  'The SelectReduction procedure works with the input node schematic node candidate to the

  'this schematic node.  It must return True for the output reduce boolean parameter if

  'is not nothing, it determines the target node that will be used to reconnect the links 
  'incidents to the reduced node.  In this sample procedure, the node candidate to the 
  'reduction is analyzed. If records related to this node exist in the plants_equipments table, 
  'the node is kept (output reduce parameter is False); else, it is reduced (output reduce 
  'parameter is True).
