Then IMO you have impossible conflicting goals: - something which is small and fast (as it is to be an integral part of the O/S)
- something which is huge and featureful (as it is going to supercede every other database out there)
yes, it seems to me that the author of this proposal doesn't really understand the huge gap between a conventional file system and a full up RDBMS. i don't think it's bridgeable in a useful or practical way. the purposes and utilization are just too different. i also think you'll have trouble finding even agreement in the RDBMS community over many things (which explains what a hash SQL has become over the years, and i'm ignoring object oriented databases, which are in an entirely different can with many unique worms in it.) let file systems be good file systems, and let the RDBMS or OO DBMS be a good DBMS. richard -- Richard Welty [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1-866-MY-CELERY 518-269-8232 (cell)
