So, as I look at your site, you advocate for databases that are more faithful to the relational model (and from the something completely different (Monty Python?) section another type of government as well).

 

Yet, you only define what the new relational database should be, and make no effort toward its construction. You only offer criticism.  Am I correct?  (The same goes for your posture on the government.)

I suggest you reconsider your reasoning. Do I understand you correctly that valid criticism should be presented only if one also provides the solution? You can't be serious.

 

1.      Defining the correct relational database and DBMS is not "only criticism". How many people do you think know what that is? Do you? That's a rhetorical question.

 

2.      Your concern should be with whether my arguments are correct or not. If they are, you should address vendors regarding any implementation issues. They, of course, love it when practitioners misplace the burden on me.
