Consider that:
- Current (RM) theory has not substantially changed in 30 years
- The practice-environment of DBMS theory has substantially
changed in this time, in fact one might be entitled to claim it has changed by a quantum leap --- in the use of RDBMS software (ie: built in accordance to the principles of the RM). - Date openly admits that current (RM) theory is not understood by database professionals.
You tell me what the implications are.
