They need the patents to work for future income. However, what google knew at
the time is at issue. That cannot be explained away as current business model.

Relational databases have uses for which they are the best
tool for the job, and they aren't going away any time soon.
However, why you would use an expensive clunky proprietary
DB like Oracle (or MS SQL Server, or - a blast from the past
- Progress) when you can have a free, flexible and elegant
one like PostgreSQL I can hardly comprehend.
Actually, I can comprehend it: mostly it's inertia and
vendor lock-in. But just like transitioning from Windows to
Linux, once you escape, you never go back.

This is computer science. It's not something that an engineer would understand.

I assume that you are the one who regularly gets wound up about relational
databases. My RDs are all so small that it doesn't matter.
However, you piqued my interest. Permit me to ask a question out of ignorance:
Does the SQL always imply relational or would it be possible to implement a Pick
MultiValue model with such an API... no, not API... a DQI - A Database Query
Language?
