Well, this group used to originally be about designing databases from scratch (i.e., C/C++ implementations) and comp.databases was about using them and table design. In the last few years, the trend has been away from this and towards table design and such which I consider to be more a use of databases issue rather than theory.
A good idea of what this newsgroup was originally about and intended for can still be seen in comp.theory but applied towards database implementation.
