I agree with Bob's technical opinions and respect his demonstrated technical
knowledge, but his response to Dawn on this one was just sniping, since
Dawn's comments had already been critically analyzed. But he's certainly
succinct. I think that unless those who favor relational (with good reason,
in my opinion) are willing to discuss it with others, it won't gain the
traction that it should have in the industry (in place of SQL and other
crap). Maybe this newgroup is the wrong forum, but I think the discussion is
still useful.
