In the Pick environment you can use the Pick DBMS to persist data or
you can use the host OS's file system - or any other physical media,
including that accessible through a relational database. Sometimes it
makes sense to organise data into a two-dimensional matrix with, say,
columns represting one dimension and columns the other. Sometimes it
doesn't. The designer is free to choose whichever model is most
logical. A willingness to be constrained to a two-dimensional model is
what we call adherence to the illogical model.
