I started reading "Query Evaluation Techniques for Large Databases" this morning. Here's a quote from page 1:
unbearably cumbersome. Research
into semantic and object-oriented data
models and into persistent database programming languages has been addressing
this problem and will eventually lead
to acceptable solutions.

I started reading "Query Evaluation Techniques for Large Databases" this morning. Here's a quote from page 1:
"While database
management systems are standard
tools in business data processing, they
are only slowly being introduced to all
the other emerging database application
areas.
"In most of these new application domains,
database management systems
have traditionally not been used for two
reasons. First, restrictive data definition
and manipulation languages can make
application development and maintenance
unbearably cumbersome. Research
into semantic and object-oriented data
models and into persistent database programming languages has been addressing
this problem and will eventually lead
to acceptable solutions.
Made me think of Dawn.
