I can code pretty decent pl/sql as well :-P anyway, slightly moving this farther off topic, does anyone here know anything about object oriented databases? I'm interesting in Gemstone in particular. What are they, what are the differences and what are they used for? How do they store data? what are the differences with multidimensional databases? I had a java developer who hates rdbms telling me that RDBMS were dead (what a surprise) and that the future of persitence was in nosql and that nonsense. cheers Alan.- On Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 6:37 AM, Nuno Souto <dbvision@xxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:dbvision@xxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: When clueless over the true nature of the problem, add memory!
