Oh no, it's THEM. :-)
I think the data integrity services are the more useful part - as TransRelational and multiple SQL implementations show, the persistence "layer" is pluggable and, to me at least, a solved problem (though improvements are always possible). So perhaps that shift in focus is responsible for some of the disagreements on priorities... Received on Thu Mar 04 2004 - 14:43:52 CET
