I believe that is the case, yes.



But we do have some differences as well.

Well, maybe I was not clear.  I may be aggressive about the lunatics and asylum dwellers who have written books, mountains of garbage, that have subverted the Relational Model.  The result is:

- what is commonly known as the "relational model" bears very likeness to the Relational Model
- people are distracted into dealing with the abnormal "normal forms", and remain ignorant re Normalisation
- millions of people read that tripe and implement convoluted nonsense in their "databases", firmly believing it to be "relational".  


Their grand achievements are crimes against humanity.  I will not apologise for calling them what they are.



Obviously that excludes the people on this forum.



However, occasionally we have some person here, who implements some insanity from those subversive books, without realising that they have been subverted, and sometimes even defends same.  I will ensure I call the construct or the behaviour insane, and not the person.  Those who either subscribe to insanity or have been tricked into it or defend it, are not necessarily insane.



Cheers


Derek
