Many years ago, the ANSI X3H2 Committee had a meeting in Rapid City,
SD where Bjarne Stroustrup gave a talk on C++ and OO programming
(overhead slides, not Powerpoints!)
We asked about putting OO into SQL3 (the internal name of the working draft Standard at that time). He said that Bells Labs had tried four ways to do this and they were all failures. Bells Labs was the smarter people on Earth at that time. He summary was that OO was good for programming and bad for data. Received on Fri Feb 08 2008 - 11:05:59 CST
