Dear Team,
I have been monitoring this list for quite some
time now and have been studying PostGreSQL for a while. I also did some
internet research on the subject of "multi valued" database theory. I know
that this is the basis for the "Pick" database system, FileMaker Pro, "D3", and
a few other database systems. After carefully reviewing the theoretical
arguments in favor of this type of database, I am thoroughly convinced that
there are certain advantages to it that will never be matched by a traditional
"relational database".
I won't waste your time in reviewing the technical
advantages here, because you can do your own research. However, I will say
that it is obvious to me that an mV database will be an integral part of any
truly practical AI robotics system. It will probably be necessary to
"marry" the technologies of both relational databases and mV databases in such a
system.
IMHO, this is something that you, as the leaders in
the most advanced database system ever developed, should carefully
consider. The Linux community needs to be aware of the special advantages
that an mV database offers, the way to interface an mV system with a traditional
RDBMS, and the potential application theory as it relates to AI
systems.
We, as a community of leaders in GPL'd software
need to make sure that this technology is part of the "knowledge base" of our
community. Thanks for listening.
Arthur
