So all you are saying is, 'you can't compare pomegranates and
pineapples, because pomegranates are better anyway'?
I've eaten both, and I like pineapples better.
So who is right?

I don't agree that U2 is a match for any "real" RDBMS like SQL. It just
doesn't have the same capabilities. For example, referential integrity.
In SQL, it's there, it's built in, it's an integral part of the system
and you can't create "orphan records" if you set up your relationships
properly. In U2, you can do that too, with application programming -
lots and lots of programming, which can be (and often is) flawed. This
is just one example of WHY you can't compare U2 to other RDBMS on the
market - you're comparing pomegranates and pineapples, and when you are
done with your comparison, U2 comes up lacking.
Don't get me wrong --- I love U2, and my career STARTed in a Pick shop.
I'm sorry to see where it's gone over the years.
Plus, to all the people out there who keep saying that it's us to list
members to convince our companies to stay with U2 instead of migrating
away, I say "Hogwash". In anything other than a small "mom & pop" shop,
programmers do not have ANY input into these kinds of decisions.
Management looks at a new and pretty system with lots of bells &
whistles, and they don't really care what platform is running on - "We
have to have it".
