Re: Generic Modeling

> ...generic modelling in relational databases...

I have developed ATE systems and utility forecasting systems that used as few as 3 tables using Access and MS SQL Server. It could be described as things, properties and relationships tables. This provided the needed flexiblity but the performance was insufficient.

Alternatively, XDb is a simple oodb that provides the type of flexiblity you will achieve via generic modelling in rdbs but with high performance. For example, it can traverse a 10,000 level hierarchy in 16 ms (www.xdb1.com/Benchmark/7.asp). Or model complex data structures in minutes (www.xdb1.com/Example/Ex046.asp).
