So let me get this straight. You contend that relational theory is incomplete (in a Godel-like way, no less) because current systems cannot address "application objects". You then proceed to provide an "engineering solution" to this problem by addressing application objects in a current system. In fact, your solution is making use of the very facet of relational theory you are claiming doesn't exist. I suggest you take a *big* step back and ask yourself what problem you are really trying to solve. Received on Fri May 21 2004 - 10:30:12 CDT
