What exactly?
Fortunately, I know many guys having opposite opinion. So I don't think it's my problem.

The problem is old enough and many well-know persons try to solve it. I just offer ather decision - nothing more. In my opinion is has some useful possibilities not allowed in other decisions.
"
The OverRelational Manifesto (below, ORM) proposes a possible approach
to creation of data storage systems of the next generation. The need
for such new systems is stipulated by the fact that the capabilities of
the existing DBMS are not satisfactory for development of complex
information systems. In essence, the matter in question is the
possibilities of an adequate description of a complex enterprise.
...The expressiveness of such a system is comparable with that of
object-oriented programming languages. On the other hand, the approach
proposed admits the fundamentality of the relational model of data ,
including the possibility of using that model as a formal basis for a
data storage system of the next generation.
...
The OverRelational Manifesto confirms the most important positions of
its predecessors. Similarly to "The Object-Oriented Database System
Manifesto" it supports the idea of long-term stored complex objects.
Similarly to "Third-Generation Data Base System Manifesto" it assumes
that the existing systems for data storage can be used and developed.
Similarly to "The Third Manifest," it tends to preserve the purity of
ideas of the relational data model.
On the basis of the approach proposed by ORM, a system can be developed, which can be treated, first of all, as a system for creating an adequate, active, and long-term model of the enterprise that is controlled by the user and provides the user with data about its state.
