> OO isn't more than a shift in terminology.

Would it wasn't... actually OO in databases is going back 30 years to graph databases, like CODASYL, IDMS and IMS: the so-called network and hierarchical horrors.

Even if it was, shifting terminology is evil, as it confuses even a situation that was already confused by SQL's crap terminology. Give me relationalspeak, please.
