Hi.

I'd say c.d.t isn't the hotbed of controversy it once was because it's at least two generations behind the fad curve. XML is old hat; graph databases are the next old wine in new bottles. Here's to hoping Satayana was right, and that the current devolutionists will rediscover relational theory when they get tired of reinventing it, poorly.

I must say, though, I do wish I had nickle every time someone told me, out there in the real world, that they "just" need <something> that doesn't require a relational database (if only they knew). Funny how willing people are to write programs instead of learning how not to.
