(re: purists/normalization)

Another thing I have wondered about:

Why doesn't Oracle (or other RDBMS vendors) enforce normalization in 
it's products?

Since they don't enforce normalization, does that mean it isn't 
important? Also, I note that there is very little mention of 
normalization in the Oracle dba documentation. Maybe it would be an 
"impediment" to the spending of 
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for Oracle products?

Except, of course, for the extremely expensive "enterprise" 
development/design products, which of course *do* mention 
normalization.

regards,
ep
