So what? We are talking about db theory here. What is recorded is
recorded by a dbms. You are implying that a dbms ought to distinguish
facts about the abstract from those about the physical. As far as a
dbms is concerned that is utterly pointless to me and promotes mysticism
as well as idiocy. How can a dbms possibly understand the mental
distinctions humans make when they interpret what it infers for them?
John McCarthy's old comment about teaching submarines to swim comes to mind.
Thanks for your response. Now would you please apply #6 in the
list. ;)
