The RDBMS is one of the reasons for enourmous unnecessary complexity exiting in IT. The stronghold of Oracles, MS, IBM on the dbms market is vast. Everytime anybody sells a new software the first question being asked is it running RDBMS from Oracle, MS IBM. RDBMS is opimised for rapid flow of transactions like in a bank, where the semantics/knowledge that pertains to this information is fixed, we have now moved to a world where there is rapid movement of knowledge. This is a huge problem for transactional systems (read from Oracle write to oracle DB) That is because any knowledge/semantics change requires reprogramming. Dr. Paul Horn from IBM has predicted that the biggest challenge in IT will be complexity - 200 million people working in IT (unnecessarily doing the same things over and over). RDBMS is that significant component of the problem. So, I am glad dissention is starting to spread about RDBMS systems. We at thoughtexpress have been working for the last 10 years on entirely different semantic/syntactic model to understand where complexity comes from and have a new system, something that semantic web tries to achive by will never do as it has incorrect forms of expression. Any that is enough from me. Pawel Adriana, all the comments you made are 100%. The RDBMS is one of the reasons for enourmous unnecessary complexity exiting in IT.
