Yes, you make an implicit good point: legacy applications is why SQL
will live a long time. Like Cobol. Also the hardware is not yet
cheap enough for what I propose, using pointers and CAM. Hardware is
the same reason parallel multi-thread programming is not yet popular--
but with Intel pushing multiple cores, this should change in the
future.

I myself am learning SQL just for fun--call me crazy.
