Could you point me to the emperical data that proves that the relational model is better for someone using it than any other? I am unaware of any previous tests, but would be happy to find out that there is such evidence.

Also, I'm quite certain that I am not the only one reading this news group that believes there are other non-relational models that hold significant advantages to companies employing them. So, no matter what model you think might be a good one, whether relational or not, how would you go about proving it to those who might wish to employ it? This isn't my issue -- it is an industry issue.
