With no offense meant to anyone, I think that most here would agree
that PICK people are sort of an odd lot. People in other related fields
might even see an almost religious fervor amongst us. I think that
there is a reason for this and that it is somehow embedded in the
system.
What I'd say is PICK people are a more logical lot. They're usually SMB
business people; which makes them use technology in a manner that furthers
their company goals. Technologists have no such frame of reference when
deciding on a technology. They generally select technology that's "cool"
then inform others to select the technology that meets their current goals.
This is a simple receipe for higher costs both in the short and long term.

I hope that the above wasn't a meaningless side track but one of the
things that I believe poses (posed?) the greatest threat to MV as
anything beyond a museum curiosity is the loss of that strangely useful
and intuitive collection of 'stuff'. If only one piece (data model)
remains the power is lost; it is just another backend.
This is really important to understand and has been noted in numerous
threads over the last few years. An mvDbms has an advantage because of of
all the tools "within" it. It used to have an advantage in cost but that
has disappeared and is now a rather large impediment to moving current mV
apps to the mainstream. Strip those tools away, or keep allowing the cost
imbalance to occur, and one should move to SQL Server, or whatever, as soon
as possible.

Bill,

Doesn't that argue the case for OpenQM?
