With such a definition you exclude yourself from commenting on what OO means.
For you it obviously means everything, i.e. in fact nothing in particular.

Now, if an OO-addicted mixes relations, tables and classes you bash him. But he might have another definition of a relation than you do ...

It is certainly true that "relation" is much, much better and more unambiguous defined than "class" and "object". But quite a few knows a difference between class, object, operator, relation etc., even if you apparently don't (accept such a distinction).

How? And what do you mean by "objects" here? Received on Mon Nov 15 2004 - 20:28:36 CET
