Hierarchical databases? Now that is new ...

- Personally, I'm hoping for a document/relational database with forward
and backward-chaining intelligence. Wake me up when we get there!

Wake up Sean, we're there.

Ingres can already handle lists as a datatype (it's right there in the
OME demo). The list type in the demo is trivial but the principle is
all worked out.

Contrary to popular belief, the relational model has no problem with
lists, matrices, trees, hulls, simplexes, videos, tar balls, or any
other kind of value. SQL might have problems with them, and COBOL
might, but the relational model doesn't and neither does Ingres.
