Don't bother with Oracle and SQL Server. I am not worried about functional limitations but logical and abstract limitations. Doing better than Oracle and SQLServer has been done several times and is not that hard considering how far they get away from RM.

OTOH, the logical and abstract limitations you have explained tend to prove that your experimental attempt can not constitute a logical abstract model as RM is.

Still, I encourage you to pursue your effort but in a knowledgeable manner about RM concepts that are light years from current implementation. I suggest you read: Introduction to Database Systems from CJ Date. Knowing better RM (<> SQL) will help you make a better implementation and gain time through not doing or repeating mistakes.
