Absolutely Brian, i agree wholeheartedly - However try having that
conversation with a "computer science guro"... but then again they don't
live in the real world.
As soon as they mention the word "proof" (quite important in software
and relational database design, I believe :-) that places them *firmly*
in the realms of maths.
And, to quote Einstein, "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to
reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do
not refer to reality." :-)
Indeed, as I've often said, it's pretty easy to prove that relational
databases, in order to qualify for the moniker "relational", *must* be
inefficient energy hogs.
Cheers,
Wol
