3. Are there functions, plug-ins, tool-sets to handle complex relationships, entity diagrams, data validation?
Can't help on that for I do not understand what you're meaning... =/
Those are all very basic database terms. The fact that they are unfamiliar
and do not appear much in Rev database discussions suggests that the state
of affairs in Rev database management is not very robust.
Hum,
Perhaps that from a strict technical point of view, it will always seems more academic to "develop" networked apps in coding basic core java or, more seriously, in using dedicated framrworks alike VP-UML, Eclipse, Struts, Tile, Ant, XDoclet and tools like JBoss, TomCat, JSP's and EJB 2.0, AndroMDA, Oracle and so on,... to get apps growing in shared CVS repertories, as coded, along months, by 10 to 20 developpers teams..., to get, to the end, apps that are going to run 60 times slower than the ones that a designer will create and build, in the same time, in using an Ultra High Level Langage, alike Revolution...
If you can get your project up in thinking it before starting to code it, you will find lots of interesting things in learning how to get the best from tools alike Metacard, Revolution (or, even, but in a lessly mesure, by using PHP and Rebol). Else, it's probably best to choose the low level technical way. It's not because the XP programming paradigm is natively supported by Rev that anyone can see it nor need to get the best from it...
Revolution is, as VHLL, core engine, IDE and framework, a developpement tool built to let us manage and handle the more powerfull projects we can think, including all the possibillities of the object-relational mapping paradigm. But, sure that, just as an example, to drive and manage, under Unix, PostgreSQL, Sybase ASE 12.5 or others ACID compliant datawarehouse back-ends trough MC or Rev, it will need more than just time and work...
Hope this can help,
