a Dutch IT magazine recently interviewed Chris Date. The interview ran
down into a declaration of war to the SQL standard, as *all of the
vendors* (so including IBM) had made a mess of it, and misused SQL for
purposes it was never intended to.
Date is now working on another RDBMS, which would fully implement
relational principles, without taking commercial issues into account.
