        I am curious about it since reading Date's _What not How_. It does not push the product, but ends up indirectly indicating using Versata may be relationally saner (and simpler to do business with) than using directly an SQL DBMS.

        Granted we now have the much more ambitious Alphora Dataphor, but it suffers from still being MS-only. And Alfredo Novoa's system will likely suffer from the same problem, while I understand Versata is cross-platform or at least based on POSIX.

        So how do you see it?
