I've heard the folks at Oracle touting PL/SQL (and the triggers that go with it) as being a kind of RDB answer to OO. You know, an "object" (ie. a table) in the DB that has behavior as well as state. Well ...
If you want an OODB then an RDB with stored procedures is a pretty poor substitute ... you'd be better off to write some C++ wrappers around your DB objects.
If you're just a plain old procedural programmer ... then use the tools which best suit the job (cc, lint, dbx, etc ...). Received on Wed Dec 08 1993 - 17:00:49 CET
