It looks very worthwhile at first glance and you are right that there are many on this list that defend the relational model with religious zeal. Don't worry if you even get called "stupid" or an "idiot" as there are others on this list that resort to completely illogical methods (intimidation, for example) to counter anything that is not based on relational theory. From my initial perspective, you appear to be on the right path. Keep movin' Cheers! --dawn P.S. I'll take a closer look later.
