I believe this is normal for a lot of SQL databases. C&D explicitly says the user is not supposed to know the implementation detail, and it's normal to update the on-disk format, with the inevitable consequence that old versions of the program cannot access newer versions of data. I guess I'm spoilt - WordPerfect and Pick treat that as a serious regression, but actually that approach seems very unusual. It requires careful and extensible design from the start, which seems, shall we say, unusual.
