Maybe if there were no relational-zealot-bullies we wouldn't have to live with bloody noses.

Seriously, Bob -- do you know what you talking about? Have you worked with any implementations of the Nelson-Pick model? If so, which one(s). Have you studied the model? Your responses to Pick all seem so emotionally charged and not based on logic -- what is the basis for your claims?

I've worked with hierarchical, network, relational dbms's as well as various file systems along with PICK. There are pros and cons to each of the environments I've worked with, but the PICK advantage is the "big bang for the buck" advantage. The core of the implementations that are out there today are quite dated in this distributed computing world (so I wouldn't call it state of the art), but the data model is definitely making a comeback, and for good reason. --dawn Received on Thu Feb 19 2004 - 21:15:44 CET
