Hi Neo,

Irrelevant. Your challenge was about "using the relational model" (...) "from normalized and NULL-less data". When I use the relational model, normalized means 3NF, BCNF, 4NF, 5NF, or DKNF. How XDb1 stores it's data and whether "normalized" is the appropriate term for that is completely irrelevant for the challenge.

Please use the link below to find the original thread, then re-read it completely (it's only a mere 265 messages long). Then indicate which of the messages you failed to undertand. Both of the above points have been refuted numerous times.
