Actually, as hinted in a previous post, SQL is more or less free of limitations of the type you describe by definition, because it is a non-procedural language! Now, SQL implementations, well, that's another story. :-) Actually, though, Fileman is an interesting mix of procedural and non-

The problem is actually a little more subtle than that: The basic problem is not one of wasted space. Think of a much simpler abstraction, the file. When it is initially created, it may or may not be allocated as a contiguous block (we'll ignore issues such as striping). What happens if

Many relational databases do waste space, but since even M databases can project a SQL view (relation), that argument may not always be accurate. In my opinion it's misleading for folks to claim that VistA is hierarchical and therefore cannot project a relational view. -Original Message-

All databases store a certain amount of empty space. Though it's possible that an RDBMS could allocate space for entire tables, and copy the entire table for each insert, but such a design is not very likely. Instead, I would expect storage to be allocated using an underlying B-tree. But

Isn't it basically an issue for optimizing for how you expect the DBMS to be used? If you expect to process primarily queries and bulk inserts, then it makes sense to allocate large blocks of storage than if you expect a lot of updates of smaller records. Oh, and I completely agree with
