Yes, I actually think of LISP and the Haskell as functional and consider that somewhat different from procecdural. But I am unfamiliar with any actual database implementations with either of these languages used for type or operation definitions. Are you? I can google it some more and read more of the academic papers to see if there are non-commerical products, but I'm hoping someone else knows.

I know I asked an emperical question, but what does "BS12" mean? (the 12th time you think I used BS in an argument? I drawing a blank. Thanks. --dawn
