It's definitely useless and maybe harmful

I am used to misconceptions about object databases.

This one is the funniest I have read so far. Sitka writes:

ODB
it has a single table called Everything
it has a single column called the One
and the column is datatype Universal

inside that single value is an object, a really big honking object that encomapasess all that is known.

A lone programmer writes the code to utilize that value.
After he is done, he is very proud of himself and after a few beers
he decides to ask his program "Is there a God"
The screen flashes "There is now"

If objects in databases make sense then someone would be a genius if they store it in that single
value because then it has the ultimate in universality and handles absolutely an situation.


"it's definitely useless and maybe harmful".
