TDAN - Pascal - Setting Matters Straight Issue 34.0

TDAN - Pascal - Setting Matters Straight Issue 34.0: "There is, indeed, a huge crisis in data management, and one that’s not recognized at all. But it is hardly rooted in “relational schema complexity”. Rather, it is due to the lack of foundation knowledge and inability to reason rampant in the industry (and incidentally, in society as a whole), of which Monash exhibits plenty. Consequently, his claim that "We must replace [the relational model] with a radically different view of data management, which I'm calling DBMS2, for database management system services" is impossible to take seriously: can a term devoid of any substance and a few confused paragraphs be a superior replacement for thousands of years of logic and mathematics and decades of data management experience? Only in America can this be suggested, and published in 2005."

Glad to see this -- I was baffled by Monash's post.
