Webdna has always been a flat file database system just like Bess said. It can open multiple flat file databases at a time -- but so what? That does NOT make it a relational system by any means! > The purpose for products like Oracle, SQL and other "databases" is to > encrypt your text so that you need to buy their products to see your > text. This is another bad assumption. MySQL for example doesn't encrypt any data, all its data is right there in files that can be edited by a text editor. And MySQL certainly falls into the "SQL" category you mentioned, right? I really don't mind people being "in love" with webdna and bragging about it, but at the same time I think you should not make statements that are your personal assumptions when they are sometimes far from the truth. Webdna is clearly not the best solution for web sites that benefit from relational systems, especially where large data sets are involved. I have proven this on several occasions and so have others I'm sure.
