I disagree. There are applications that work just fine using nothing but
some kind of tree shaped file under it.
I think the admiration for those applications was overextended. I think
that they were a certain class of applications, ones that can remain both
stable and relevant. And I think the notion that the RDM has been a big
distraction from forward progress is just plain wrong. But that class of
applications is of interest.

A few months ago c.d.t. had a constant barrage of input on why Pick
applications delivered more bang for the buck than relational DBMS
applications.
Now, I'm talking about relational (or SQL) modeled data vs. MV modeled data. That skirts your original point, of files vs DBMS. But I think they are related issues. Received on Mon Sep 20 2004 - 13:12:03 CEST
