Ken,
Thanks for pinning this down so well. I was satisfied in my own mind, that the term "hierarchical data model" as applied to things like the work of Bachman was not an attempt to make an invidious comparison with the relational model, but rather fairly standard usage of the era, although it was not part of my working vocabulary at that time.
But your specific references further clarified it for me. Thanks again. Received on Thu May 20 2004 - 19:27:08 CEST
