Re: OO fans bashing Joins

Reply to Kyle:

I moved the discussion about tables and 1-to-1 relationships to "Roles and relational (revisited)" in comp.object.

The definition of "object oriented programming" is rather fuzzy it seems. A wide interpretation may indeed view everything as an "object". A wide interpretation of relational theory may also view everything as entities and relationships.

Thus, I think it is safe to define OO as having classes and methods.

I prefer syntactical indirection (Eval("myfunc(x)")) instead of address indirection. It may not be as efficient, but it is safer, more flexible, and more storable IMO.
