Dan I respect your opinion but I do know a great deal about relational database system. My entire career has been building databases on many platforms. I go back to SQL Server 4.x. I also developed access databases going back to pre 2.0. I have also worked with snowflake in massive petabyte systems. I have worked on massive mpp database platforms. If I put all of the evidence in this blog it would be a book. I want to manifest thought. I love snowflake and have many blog posts. Please read them and come back and we can have a rational discussion. I respect your opinion and will not reply to your automatic opinion. Prove me wrong and I will blog that I was wrong. I have integrity.
