It appears that my use of the word "open" is causing some reactions. My
use of "open", was meant as in a "flat file system" context where the
access to the data is open and does not requires user or application
credentials to access the data file to manipulate or apply any
transformation to the data.
Agree Richard, M$ likes to keep it all wrapped.

MSS "Classic" uses it (what we have in the practice)
