You want to deal only with relational representations? Good. You have your "bulldozer" system? Good. Is it fast, reliable, scalable and safe? It had better be, and you can expect people to question this. Does it have usable and flexible tools to define how data is mapped (in both directions) between the relational representation and whatever the "bulldozer" uses for storage? I doubt it, because such mappings are an unresolved and probably unresolvable problem.

This is an open forum, there is no point in trying to specify how people should structure their responses to you. If, in addition, you turn out to be one of those people who get annoyed with others who don't follow your specifications, and refuse to talk to them unless they do, you will have no credibility whatsoever.

Are you sure that you too are not claiming to be the only one who understands everything?
