Date spent a lifetime on database theory, writing books and articles and lecturing, etc. It would be expected that his approach would be of greater coherence. So what?

Should all others cease to think because massive coherence exists in the pioneering foot-trails of Date? Are you of the belief that there is nothing else left to learn on the topic?

Did Date ever develop any software and/or methodology to solve the problem identified in this topic?

My claim is that I have developed a tool which enables development of application system suites by means of creating and registering RDBMS objects (sp's) alone.

That the end result of such development is a production IT environment in which 100% of the organizational intelligence so physically bound, is within the RDBMS, and zero percent is remnant outside of the RDBMS.

How does it not meet Date's criteria?
Be as technical as you like.
