Paul, >>>If you think you can make something robust like oracle enterprise server by hacking together a couple table lookup functions I can only feel sorry for you.<<< For an engineer with a phd you seem to get quite emotional. Please don't feel sorry for me because I know what kind of information systems are being used in the real world. Many information systems that are being cobbled up are no more than look ups of name and addresses and or product descriptions that does not require the expenditure of robust client server DBMS software design and implementation. Whether I can personally design a database (relational or otherwise) is really not the point - although I think you have quite a bit of difficulty with that. However, taking myself out of the picture, I can assure you that there are thousands of uundergraduate computer science majors that have the resources (i.e., a computer, a programming language compiler, and some rudimentary concepts of databases) who can create and maintain a very credible database that is quite functional. It is quite a bit easier for this to be accomplished than it is for perhaps anyone aside from yourself to " make a microprocessor by getting a billion transistors get soldering irons make adders, instruction decoders, barrel shifters etc.and hook them up!" That may or may not be an idiotic statement on your part. But, exactly where are any statements that I have written that are that idotic. Please point it out for me. For you to get so emotional and upset at a suggestion that the barrier to entry for software development in DBMS is several orders of magnitude lower than it is to develop microprocessors is quite perplexing to me.
