I don't think that this is a new idea. Back in 1979 I worked with a DBMS that used essentially this method. It was very flexible but limited in size since it had to be "in core" (cached in our terminology) in order to perform all the joins that it needed with any response time.

Just wanted to extend my appreciation for all of your responses to this topic. I liked the fact that even though overall, it was obvious old school still holds, that many of you were able to show that it could be advantageous in certain circumstances (not ours). This will make it much easier to discuss the issue with the consultant without totally bashing the idea--maybe even changing the model to a hybrid (if I am lucky).

I am always interested in hearing more on this if anyone else cares to share
experiences--the more fuel, the better.

Thanks again!
