Argh, my analogy afforded you too many interpretations

What does
an expert mechanic use if none of his fixed size wrenches fit an
odd/uncommon size nut or bolt?

The comparison to Databases? the tinkerer will work on Xcel
spreadsheets and ACCESS databases and cannot use ORACLE or SYBASE
because they really do not understand (have the SQL skills/tools) to
mess with it.

Could you post a SQL script to represent/query the things in the
original post? Then I would like to add/modify the original data to
simulate the equivalent of a non-standard size bolt and see how the
tools (RM vs XDb2) handle such situations.

You're missing the point, Neo.

(I was away on a business trip and came back to this
discussion just now.)

In the original posts, which you snipped and presented without
attributions, you posited that XDB2 was the generic tool
and that others (e.g. RM) were more specific tools.
You admitted in another post that a more specific tool
would probably outperform a more generic tool for a given
problem. We (or at least I) had no intention of having
you model specific vs. generic tools in your, ahem,
database implementation.

Get a grip.

Replace "God" with your father's name.
Replace "John" with your name.

Forgive me for such simplistic thinking, but if I can arbitrarily
replace data in <whatever> dataset then I can prove anything.

I begin to suspect Neo is a bot.

I suspect Neo would take that as a compliment.
