4. implementing a generic database inside another generic database

That was the goal, originally. Not to have a hard compiled app against a hard compiled relational schema. If Chandler is to become a hard compiled application with a static schema, where all data types have to be determined in advance, then of course, the chandler repository is overkill and can be replaced by some specifically optimized, domain-specific, schema.

I'm confused: How is what we have (where you have to throw out your data any time the schema at either of 2 levels changes) different from the "hard compiled app against a hard compiled relational schema"? (Apart from the word "relational").
