Re: Relational-to-OOP Tax

In article <1172422104.994840.113930@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
frebe73@xxxxxxxxx says...
SQL is the best availible language for data management. Other
languages are better for other tasks.

Once again: prove it. Post an objective proof that SQL is better than
FDL. Post an objective proof that SQL is better than PFL.

Google and wikipedia does not give any relevant hits for FDL or PFL.

This is a proof that you don't know how to use a search engine. You were
supposed to post a proof about the superiority of SQL. Thes really are
_quite_ different concepts.

The level of "availibility" might be debatable.

Your inability to find them hardly renders them unavailble.

Post an objective proof
that SQL is better than XQuery.

XQuery is a language for hierarchical data. The hierarchical model has
been abandoned for 30 years but has showed up in LDAP and XML again
showing all its disadvantages. If you want to learn the disadvantages
with the hierarchical model, please consult Wikipedia or some other
resource.

I know more about it than you seem to -- while the hierarchical model
cerainly has _some_ disadvantages, the relational model does too. In
theory, the relational model is a generalization of the hierarchical
model, so if you're honestly convinced it's better, why don't you show
us an implementation of an LDAP directory service that uses a relational
model internally?
