<< I'd much rather see a rewrite of Windows. >> No kidding. Make it look like the .NET framework in terms of the class hierarchies, but with support for native compilation. IOW, make the API into a class framework instead, without the Windows API still sitting underneath the whole mess. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Dan Rootham | Rita,
I read the Stonebraker article, and this bit certainly grabbed my attention: << Stonebraker and his group also advocate abandoning SQL >> Just when I thought I was getting to grips with it. Damn.... And the alternative to SQL is - what? Conversational voice interaction with some sort of interactive expert system? That would suit me because I'm a terrible typist. But while this might do well for queries which are browsing for data, maybe an informal approach doesn't really hack it for updates and deletes? A recipe for mayhem. Or the birth of a new monster to rival Microsoft's helpful paperclip? Cheers, Dan |

Tim Young [Elevate Software] Elevate Software, Inc. timyoung@elevatesoft.com | Dan,
<< And the alternative to SQL is - what? >> Well, the obvious problem with any alternative, especially those that "embed" themselves in the actual language, is who controls it and decides what changes, etc. ? I mean, if we're talking about using operators, etc. in the language itself, then obviously there are going to be differences between the various languages that require special handling in each language. Sounds like a recipe for a single company to take over the standard and start to screw around with everyone else. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

David | No matter how the "new" data is stored, I can guarantee that that SQL will
be able to access it. On 2/18/08 7:01 PM, in article 7E82ECAB-4FD0-4DCB-B184-03447268F658@news.elevatesoft.com, "Rita" <no@no.com> wrote: > Ok DBMS is old and peeps dont like changes > but whats coming next I dont like it. |
