Post #156,311 by tablizer 5/22/04 1:35:42 AM Reply	Putting words in my mouth Bryce claims that the procedural version will be much cleaner. Let's see some actual proof. I didn't claim that. I only claim that it will not be objectively worse. The real benefit would probably be that a p/r version would be more consistent from developer to developer because OO is too open-ended. Every professed OO guru does a very different design. OO is all over the fricken map because it the Goto of structuring. Relational rules and the "group by task" of procedural will tend to produce a more consistent and predictable result than OO. ________________ oop.ismad.com

Having seen several large procedural database programs, I question the validity of this statement. "Tend" is a weasel word. Where's your proof?

Post #156,364 by ChrisR 5/22/04 1:54:33 PM Reply	Thanks. Looking at this is an opportunity to learn more about the app, and make the discussions a bit more than rhetoric. Even if you don't want to piece together the whole app, perhaps you can at least show how some of the pieces of it could be written from a P/R perspective.
