| Message-ID | <530e1eeb-f459-4871-bc21-a19b3b0fc9f3@googlegroups.com> |
I am a developer of new programming language platform for relational databases. Its technology enables preventing database schema updates as objects are added in process of application growth and may find use in a range of database applications. Platform features: - Programming logic is updated in a database without altering its schema - Application table structures are updated in a database without altering its schema - Interpreter resides inside a database, no application software installation - Hierarchical tree structures are saved in a relational database and accessible by path - Enables updates of programming logic and data schema with DML SQL statements - Supports flow controls including variables, conditional, loops, function calls with in-out parameters Currently tested as a working prototype. Thanks! http://sprout.internetsite.eu

Thanks! http://sprout.internetsite.eu Hmm... There is not really much there. I am missing especially a consistent example which demonstrates all - or at least most - of the features. Is this for web only? At the moment I don't really see the use case or benefits. I believe you need to spicy up your presentation if you want to stir more interest.

The platform can query database tables physically created in database schema or tables created and contained within its storage mechanism and table function that accesses it.

So you are implementing a database using a database. What's the point in that? This doesn't scale and is a nightmare to do regular SQL queries on. What's bad about DDL to change a schema definition (in the background it essentially does exactly the same as your system does: it updates metatables that contain the definition of tables and other database objects.

Executing DDL is not exactly same as it needs "alter schema" access and it may be a concern in systems with frequently changing program logic. An advantage is querying database schema without accessing its physical schema definition. For example function check_input(<column path>, <value>) which may not work in regular procedural SQL since schema definition is not always accessible to client queries.

You really think you're the first genius to dream up this bullshit "solution"? By all means piss your youth and energy away on this if it makes you happy, but don't come looking for approval, because we're not polite enough to pretend. I honestly can't believe you actually seemed to write "EAV" with a straight face. Art

In my platform the metadata is stored in physically same EAV repo that keeps table data while the schema does not contain assumptions of any kind about application data structure. I believe the topic is exhausted. Cheers.

There is a difference between sincerity and disrespect. Even if one does not agree or thinks suggested ideas are not worthwhile pursuing one can still communicate that in a respectful way. In absence of sympathy politeness is not just pretending but expresses the notion that everybody is entitled to respectful treatment. Regards robert

One can, but in the case of EAV it is an idea that has been comprehensively shown to be wrong-headed so many times, in so many ways that it is a public good to cut across it to save everyone a lot of time. It does no one any favors to show the idea respect it doesn't deserve and to drag the whole weary argument out with elaborate courtesies just to save the feelings of someone selling snake-oil. > In absence of sympathy politeness is not just pretending but expresses > the notion that everybody is entitled to respectful treatment. No they are not, and a moment's reflection should reveal countless examples of why that is just trite sentiment. How do you feel about people who promote fake cancer cures? There is being mistaken, which is forgiveable and which deserves patient correction, and then there is lazy but arrogant, which deserves a figurative smack up the side of the head. Everyone is entitled to honesty. Sometimes its most beneficial when its bare-knuckle honesty. Giving someone a wake-up call shows respect. Encouraging them to remain deluded, with sugar-coated euphemisms does not. Art

No, actually show it.
As I like to say, it is one thing to disagree, but quite another
to be disagreeable.

Well, at least, they have some courtesy.

Ah, but if you are trying to get people to see that they might be
mistaken, your approach is very unlikely to work.

That they are criminal. That is a legal matter. Manners are
not.

Why give such so much attention?

I very much disagree with you, but in this post, I have not
insulted you.
It is possible to make a strong point without being rude.

I am under no illusion that I will ever help the OP. I am heckling. All I want to do is raise awareness so that perhaps one or two other people wonder why anyone would get so bent out of shape about EAV and look into it a bit more carefully.

I am sure both you and Robert will agree I've not insulted you either. In fact I have treated you both with a degree of respect. You can properly value that because you know I don't fake it. Sadly I wonder if both you and Robert think I am a shit. I can't trust either of you because you've both told me people should lie about that sort of thing. > It is possible to make a strong point without being rude. Irrelevant and glib, but true. Art

As to why someone would get so bent out of shape, people might
wonder if the problem is with you rather than the OP's idea. By being
rude about it, it is unlikely you will succeed in raising awareness.
You are more likely to encourage such practices.

If I had only been rude people would be quite right to suspect I am unhinged. But I told the OP exactly why he was wrong, and what to do instead. My bluntness was justified and my rudeness was to catch the eye. Evidently it worked. > By being > rude about it, it is unlikely you will succeed in raising awareness. > You are more likely to encourage such practices. The logic leading to that conclusion completely eludes me. The worst that will happen is I will get ignored. Art

There we disagree: there are different kinds of respect, one that can be earned and one that everybody deserves because of his humanity. You talk about respect not earned but it seems to me you deny the other form as well. > Pretending. Lying. That is just one way of looking at it. By treating someone with respect whom one does not like one acknowledges that he is human as well. No sympathy needs to be faked for that. Also, politeness and honesty are not exclusive. I can be polite and offer honest disagreement at the same time. >> Ah, but if you are trying to get people to see that they might be >> mistaken, your approach is very unlikely to work. > > I am under no illusion that I will ever help the OP.

I believe by now attention has been drawn to a completely different subject - which might or might not help your goal. > Sadly I wonder if both you and Robert think I am a shit. If you consider that option you must be assuming that we do that based on some of your prior communication. Since you entered this discussion about style where you elaborate your good intentions it must be important for you not to be viewed as a "shit". What I do not understand: why do you employ a style of communication of which you assume that it has potential to harm your reputation? Regards robert

I am sure you have something nice in mind when you use the word respect but you are using your own definition of it. The only real meaning of any word is its shared meaning.

Yeah, but I think we're both getting a lot out of this new quarrel.

Nope, it's a pure wild-ass conjecture, consistent with the facts available but otherwise baseless. I mention it only to show the true effect of admitting your show of courtesy is mere formula. > Since you entered this discussion > about style where you elaborate your good intentions it must be > important for you not to be viewed as a "shit". Not in the least. Valid arguments by even the vilest shits are still valid. > What I do not > understand: why do you employ a style of communication of which you > assume that it has potential to harm your reputation? For brevity and impact. To figuratively smack the OP up side the head. To hold his ideas up to ridicule. For color. And because I talk like that. Unlike the OP I don't crave the esteem of anyone here. Art

I would not answer to your message in offending ways for two reasons (apart from basic politeness): 1. I'm curious about new results in general; 2. I'm about to propose on Github something similar (in a couple of weeks if everything is ok); With accessibility of information as ultimate goal, my work is much less sustained theorically, and more prone to dramatical decrease in efficiency also, but maybe we'll find ideas to share. Let's keep in touch! In the meantime, I'll try to understand your contribution. Regards!

Mincing your words does no one any good when the idea is that dumb. We can't put the offender's head on a pikestaff as a warning to others but we can make it clear he's a bone-head and not to be imitated. > 1.

Is there a way we can fumigate for them? > With accessibility of information as ultimate goal, my work is much less > sustained theorically, A naive blockhead, by your own admission. You aer another one who thinks he's the first to solve the problem. The arrogance and self-belief is so grotesque it is comical. > and more prone to dramatical decrease in > efficiency Just when I thought you couldn't be more arroganant and delusional. What an ass. > also, but maybe we'll find ideas to share. Let's keep in > touch! In the meantime, I'll try to understand your contribution. Yeah, you two seem to be peas in a pod. I hope you are only wasting your own time and money on this crap. Art
