An Alternative to SQL?

Golygydd Max writes "Dave Voorhis from the University of Derbyshire has developed a program incorporating Tutorial D, a language designed to overcome of the shortcomings of SQL, and developed some years ago by Hugh Darwen and Chris Date. Until now, no-one had done anything with it but Voorhis is hoping for wider adoption; although we think it would be like pushing water uphill though." Update: 10/13 12:43 GMT by T : An anonymous reader writes "It's being picky I know, but the university in question is in fact called The University Of Derby, not Derbyshire."

A proposal: publish something of your current work. If it's sound, it goes up to DMoz. If not, it gets dissed.
