This argument is just not thought through Daniel. How do you know this doesn't exist in any product derived from Ingres. It doesn't now, but how about next year, or the one after. Versions of SQL Server, and Oracle, are being released all the time. The lineage of a product does not preclude rich functionality being added in latter versions.

Your argument is like saying that as our distant ancestors don't have an opposable thumbs, we can't and never can have as we have evolved from them.
