I imagine that the above table might well inspire somebody to write a lesson or two, don't know about a course though. One remark I don't understand is "Date hates the concept of data modeling". Where does he say this?
From what I've read of his, Date certainly doesn't hate the concept of database design. Is that different from data modeling? Also, I'm curious what his definition of "Entity" is. Received on Tue Oct 02 2007 - 03:45:03 CEST
