To me, the main reason is that with most enterprise applications, data outlives the applications. Accepting this means to store your data in the one format that any enterprise application canread - in a relational database. This also applies when multiple applications access the same data (I know, an API would be cleaner, but the ROI for implementing, say, a SOA interface and adding it to all the applications is typically pretty bad). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
