I was figuring SQL, so you guessed right. Maybe we need to have three terms:
RDBMS = a product that a vendor says is an RDBMS RDBMS = a product that does not exist, but is a pure implementation of the relational model as seen through the eyes of the writer RDBMS = Dataphor
Can we come up wtih some notation for each of these meanings so that we know which one someone is talking about? Seems that we need the term "RDBMS" in our glossary?
How about RDBMS means "a product that the vendor calls an RDBMS" for starters -- if we could all agree on that, that might save some keystrokes, if nothing else. Cheers! --dawn Received on Mon May 03 2004 - 21:00:45 CEST
