I believe this requset is for software metrics. The problem is that metrics are always defined for 3GL languages, because they are fairly easily to quantiff, e.g., lines of code. But how do you quantify SQL and SQL development??? I have an obsure paper by Ulka Rodgers suggesting how to use COCOMO, and I have been playing around with using function points; but I do not know of any specific metrics used specifically for RDBMS development projects (other than # tables, columns, etc, but what does that really prove??)

Anyone out there with any knowledge of SQL metrics, I would love to hear from you.
