IŽm a specialist in oracle databases and notes applications, and if youŽll try to implement a relational application in lotus notes, youŽll have a lot of trouble.

The domino architeture is designed to workflow applications, it doesnŽt import with referential integrity, her views of data is limited, and have a lot of incoveniants for *relational applications*. But, if your application is
composed by a lot of workflow situations, with document base data, you donŽt have another option unlike lotus notes/domino.
