  1. But I have to ask, isn't that the beauty of SQL?, that you CAN "dump things" into it? (Try doing that with IMS -- arghg.)

  2.  @Sven_Dongle  Yes - it looks like things can get "sloppy" at times, but that's part of its strength -- that you can even do that in the first place. Another name for "sloppy" is flexible. Try doing that with IMS.

  3.  @Sven_Dongle  I'm celebrating the existence of SQL (especially in comparison to IMS!). Please spare me your pedantic, obnoxious lectures. ... then go back to watching Big Bang Theory.

  4.  @Sven_Dongle  No, the difference is you're a typical social computer geek.

  5. Fantastic! I was in the programming business (struggling with IMS) when "Sequel" was just becoming available. ... Phew. "The rest is (Oracle) history."
