I'm not sure what to make of http://www.tablecode.com. The idea has certainly crossed my mind before, but it's hard to decipher their marketing-speak to really know what they're talking about.

From: Fabian Pascal

Well, anything that begins like this:

TableCode™ is a new generation of software development technologies based on table-oriented programming (TOP). TOP is an invention using a metamodeling approach to fully define an extended and enhanced object-oriented model in a framework of databases. Simply put, it is a new way to create software to more properly reflect and adapt to our real-world needs.

cannot possibly command my attention. Not only marketing speak, but Orwellian NewSpeak too: ignorance passing itself up for innovation.
