Or, to put a different slant on it: a competent developer who has spent years using SQL databases day-to-day finds it easier to use SQL and the relational data model than a different data model and different query language that he's spent a few days trying out. It's not surprising. I often find it difficult to code things in Python and end up switching to Perl. Why? Is it because Perl's an inherently easier language? Or is it because Perl has been one of my main development tools for the best part of a decade whereas I dig out Python only occasionally. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
