IMHO these guys confuse problems " interaction between programms and

relations". The first problem is technological and may be
methodological but the second one is only logical and mathematical. The
reason of this confising is that most of programs are OO and most of
DBMS are "relational"( i mean SQL) today and many persons do not try to
unerstand difference betwee these two kind of problems.


Nope. The problem is that some persons here are truly hard-core RDBMS
fanatics and and absolutely unable to understand that there's a life
outside RDBMS. RDBMS are really great for some things, and just suck for
some other things.

Both positions ('everything must go to the RDBMS' vs 'the RDBMS is just
a low-level storage') are wrong IMHO - as always, it's a matter of
choosing the right tool for the job.
