Well, you can use some reading, can't you ?

Semi-structured means whose structure is only partially exposed to the processing application (where application can be database systems, client app, middleware, etc), i.e. it has hidden structure as far as the application is concerned.

It says something very precise about the legitimacy of wannabe trolls on c.d.t who want to wave their magic hands and pretend there's some kind of truth or useful knowledge in their baseless claims.

Falsehoods all over the place. There's no significant published research in database theory or any other branch of CS that "uses" Oracle or MS SQL Server, and all the other claims are trivially false and irrelevant. Who decreed that there's any good in the majority of CS community using FP languages ?

Just grow up, will you ? Comp.database.theory has been in useless troll mode for months now, and you can't in all honesty blame it all on Pick fans. Received on Thu Jun 24 2004 - 22:06:00 CEST
