I'm not limiting my considerations at all.
Well, that's contradictory, then. By your own admission:
I did consider the relational model
And yet you're "surprised" when I merely submit the relational model
for consideration:
So now I'm even more puzzled why you bring in relational databases
That doesn't make any sense!
!=> If you yourself considered the relational model, why are you so
surprised when I merely submit it for consideration? <=!
Do note that I did not recommend it! I just outlined the options.
That's all.
After which you jumped all over me for even mentioning relational
databases going as far as to question my knowledge of the hierarchical
model. That was not only way over the top but irrational.
I don't think that's the reason (although true ;-)).
Oh, it's not only true but it's *the* reason! And I have "mental
scars" to prove it (coming at it from both ends)! ;o)
Don.
