I find the above to be stunningly ironic as the data I keep presenting is at the logical layer and can be entered as such in most RM implementations. While physical things can probably be normalized at the hardware layer, I am not talking about normalizing thing at the hardware layer when I normalize symbols and strings represented at at the logical layer. RM is a logical model. Implementation of it attempt to keep users in the logical layer. Data entered in Sql Server or Oracle is at the logical layer, and that includes symbols and strings. Why do you keep insisting that RM's implementations are allowing user to enter non-logical data? Please explain how to determine which layer user-entered data in a RM db belongs to?
