Thoughts on Database Research: A User Perspective
Summary: Advocates OO databases for CAD with partitioned design-sessions and a meta-database for access control; transactions run at partition/session granularity to enable versioning. Proposes a message-driven query model and typed data, arguing that OO databases must expose behavior via messages, not emulate relational models. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
