Yes your are right about all DBs, but unfortunately there is frequently middle-ware or other app like a CMS that can make data extraction and migration problematic and costly.
Hence, religion in public, business, government, schools... must never be allowed, except as a mythology topic for anthropology/science cultural studies.
The US Constitution gives the individual citizen a right to have religious freedom, but does not provide any religious institution/church/temple... freedom in public spaces. IOW: Keep the mythology BS out of my life, and I will defend your right to have/practice a religion.
Who owns your data? Id there a lifecycle to consider? Will the data/information/results be used for collaboration, web-services...?
Anyone can buy software and wait for patches. Anyone can own software and prioritize patches. Anyone can buy L/FOSS support for a stable product from a foundation/company.
These days the Q&A (IMO): Are you a responsible owner? What are the valuable assets for your business; virtual-material (information, data, content...) or hardware/software... products?
Staying market competitive requires agility and responsiveness, IMO, L/FOSS provides agility and responsiveness in very stable and atypical markets.
Never choose the brand and never buy the marketing hype, look at what you need to do (resources to requirements) or solutions/success and then proceed.
Yes; L/FOSS for most, but not all, is the best path/process [Unless you like to point the finger of blame at a brand-name].
CreditCardRate+DebitCardFee+BillPayCharges+WhateverNext.... AirFare+BaggageFee+MealPurchase+WhateverNext.... RIAA+ASCAP+MediaFormatChange+MediaTaxes+WhateverNext.... Whatever is next? Is a creative way to increase prices, profits, and maintain other charges.
CorporateWelfare+CorporateLaws+CorporateTaxes+CorporateBailout+WhateverNext... is not capitalism or democracy, but it is a totalitarian welfare state for plutocrats. IOW: FuckUS
Without reason politicians a/o dogmatist seek to explain reality, which is never actuality.
A government of the people and for the people is a democracy. A government by a republic and for the republic is a plutocracy. A government by a syndicate for the syndicate is Statism.
Government that governs economic and social policy by law is an enfranchising capitalist meritocracy ideal state. This ideal is only possible in a pluralist democracy.
Government that controls economic and social policy by law is a delusional elitist (religion, race, monetary, legacy...) welfare state. This ideal is only possible in a plutocratic republic.
Government that threatens economic and social stability by law is a criminal enterprise subversive state. This ideal is only possible with a statist syndicate.
When you verbally seek to victimize, encumber, a/o disenfranchise any group or anyone you betray "The USA Constitution," which is treason. When you participate and support the victimization, exploitation, a/o criminalization of any group or anyone you commit crimes against humanity. When you physically attack, destroy a/o slaughter groups or murder anyone you are mentally and emotionally dysfunctional and need to be locked-up for life or terminated.
The USA is or is not a democracy, because.... The USA is or is not a republic, because.... The USA is or is not a syndicate, because....
Saying an individual is a democrat, republican, statist... lacks reason/logic, because....
My answer: Where is the proof? Who are the others involved. Which organization are we talking about?...?
The Movie, Music, Media industry would like you to believe that the USA is a nation of criminals. Far too many USA politicians, when passing many laws, believe that the USA is a nation of criminals, and that protecting and bailing-out non-competitive plutocrat businesses' market share is best for the economy.
"The surveys findings show that 46% of adults and 75% of young people have bought, copied, or downloaded some copyright infringing material." Did the people do it knowingly or is this the global underground economy (stolen property, drugs, piracy [litteral/figurative]...) at work?
"70% of those surveyed said it's reasonable to share music files (PDF) with friends and family." Is this a piracy problem or a market competition problem? A child likes a song some friend played... then at that time&place they copy&share is it good marketing or a crime? The same child later that week buys the album+, but the child is made a criminal by USA corporate-welfare law. This bullshit is sick.
"Support for internet blocking schemes was at 16%." Should the USA Congress a/o States brake the internet further for USA corporate-welfare purposes?
The present rules of teaching, learning, pedagogy... have proven to be restrictive, hierarchical, religious/cultural biased... a failure.
School systems and universities in the USA are hierarchical and oppressive. Fitting the student in to the curriculum is a waste of time. Mentoring and allowing a student to evolve a curriculum, their learning pedagogy, and share/collaborate with others nationally/globally is best. Yes, some common math and language requirements are essential. I suspect, my 160+ SemHrs, no degree, personal experience, $100K+ Gross... supports at least a possibility.
The American companies have never had a problem selling "TopSecret" technology to China.
There is no doubt, a national/international company does not care, if their company is selling to the US, EU, RU, CN, Israel, Iran, our potential foes.
US, EU, RU, CN, Israel, Iran, Vatican... it is just business as usual. WTF do people expect? Better! WTF do politicians expect? Privilege! WTF do clerics expect? Power!
It is a global plutocracy that works better than war. It ain't democracy, capitalism, communism, religion, values, faith, happiness, joy... WTF not plutocrats/aristocracy the delusional-elitist that have always ruled human culture and destiny that assures upheavals and changes by violence, destruction, genocide, extinction....
That which survives in museums and libraries, and hides in yet to be discovered archaeological sites remains as proof of plutocrat/aristocrat republics' failure and human success. It is the artist/mathematician not the the leader/patron/cleric..., it is the architect not the king, it it is the scientist not the CEO, it is the labor not the boss always creating the best that humanity will be left to posterity to build destiny on.
That which is intended to kill US, EU, RU, CN... folks will always cripple the best of humanity and strengthen the plutocrats/aristocrats.
Every time Governments (globally & locally) make a BigBiz Brother law to govern how people use technology, they with BigBiz Brother writing the law always royally fyckup and create another zombie-law.
I wish it would happen with all the laws BigBiz Brother author, but that would put poor old BigBiz Brother out of business in any "Open" capitalist market. BigBiz Brother needs the law to (metaphorically) lash every penny out of their customer-hostages and toss citizens in jail or the grave.
Zombie-laws would destroy the BigBiz Brother economy, they what would we have? Zombie-laws tell BigBiz Brother to produce value or die. BigBiz Brother laws (not zombie-laws) in medicine, financials, agriculture, services, communications keep the USA BigBiz Brother economy healthy and functional.
Now don't you want to end zombie-laws, and protect BigBiz Brother?
The government over the last 40 years has proportionally cut funding to all theoretical and applied science, medicine, and engineering. If BigBiz-Brother is not interested in the research outcome, then no funding comes from BigBiz-Brother. BigBiz-Brother will fund interpretations and falsifications of research results for more corporate-welfare laws. The cure for big-profit diseases is close to impossible (almost accidental) in the present environment, but treatments for big-profit diseases are very innovative, competitive, and highly profitable.
Presently it is un-American, when corporate-welfare will be adversely impacted, to cure any big-profit diseases ; Hence, the government is not adding much to the deficit for cures that would disrupt the global economy for the plutocrats.
I heard someone say that poor-people make much better lab-rats for testing expensive treatments.
Governance of BigBiz-Brother is a possible reality, but not likely for US. Governance of US by BigBiz-Brother politician-proxies is a present actuality.
IMO Objective: Information Determines Social Change and Technology Application. Legacy: Technology Determines Social Change and Information Application.
Yes, a paradigm change. Decision makers (.com/.gov/.mil...) are legacy mind-locked on technology always defining and providing the "Information Technology" (IT) solution.
Yes, a paradigm change. Decision makers (.com/.gov/.mil...) must go to academia to help define the new "Information Management" (IM) market place. IM must determine the required IT architecture. Fitting information into an IT solution is always foolish/simple. Fitting an IT solution to information requirements is presently dismissed by decision makers (.com/.gov/.mil...) as foolish/simple; Hence, money, failure, and time wasted.
Technology sector marketing can hook most decision makers (.com/.gov/.mil...) their bait is still seen as the food for career success. Technology sector marketing ever knew IT and are totally unfamiliar with IM.
Everything that transacts (email, POTS/VOIP, twit/text...) between people, using a PKI/personal certificate and bio-login, on any network can be proof of participation and responsibility. The network owner would be responsible (potential failure point) for assuring PKI/personal certificate and bio-login forensics for legal purposes.
Voice files with meta-tags are highly compressible. Voice to text transcriptions are possible. Voice recognition would mitigate video (not eliminate) forensics requirements....
At sixty, I would be very happy to reduce keyboard-time, and increase voice+face time with some modern information technology.
Let's hurry it alone. How do we solve the intransigence in the workplace/government to define policy, regulations, laws... to protect personal privacy, accept that technology changes, and TODAY information rules everything in all societies/cultures [So, make it more human natural!].
There are many folks, with wast experience and academic knowledge, that do know as much or more than IT staff from the phone...telecommunications (nodal networks) and from wear/tote computers to routing (cell, packet, switch) to RF/spectrum freq-hop/share, HF/VHF, walkie-talkie....
IT management a/o management have degrees, certifications, little or no experience, and are technology idiots/Luddites. IT/IA security is just one more of their TFSU.
Question: Why is it easier to criminalize citizens, than protect citizens from crimes? Answer: Criminalizing citizens supports corporate welfare, protecting citizens cost tax-dollars that can be better used as welfare for failing corporations .
Question: Why is it easier to start a profiteer war, than draft wealth entitled children? Answer: War and citizens soldiers increase profit and decrease the social burden of aged citizens in the Corporate States of America (CSA).
Question: Why is it easier to fund a local school board payroll, than fund the education of children? Answer:....
Question: Why is it easier to delay, prevent, and deny healthcare, than provide the public health care? Answer:....
Question: What is the problem? Answer: Observing the obvious does not fit the personal dogma view, problems have multiple parts, but are always defined as large, complex, and unsolvable.
Problems must be troubleshot to be resolved, and innovative solutions require reasoning (not dogma/lies).
Problems and solutions ain't fycking magic! Nothing poofs in-&-out of existence (except dogma/lies).

Hence, I said, "extremely highly ranked private school?"
There are a few MIT, Harvard... types of private primary and secondary schools. Almost all the private religious/dogma schools are worthless money-pits.
Boston Legal was far better, Billy as a cigar smoking, booze drinking, gun toting, criminal creep shooting, mad-cow conservative lawyer... made me strongly identify him as understanding US Citizens better than any C*O, politician, clergy, or Canadian (I have heard he is Jewish). I keep hoping he will return for one last big case on Harry's Law (may the large complicated case could last for a season).
Billy was always Captain Kirk to US, until Denny Crane!
1. Can the Education Department produce and maintain a BS-free "Open Course Content" (Open eBooks, Open teaching materials, randomized test content...) curriculum for grades K...12 that are comparable to any extremely highly ranked private school? No don't force the states to use the curriculum, eventually state education budget cuts will require the Open and Free curriculum to reduce education cost. Yes, education infrastructure will still be failing nationally, but some bills the states should pay. Yes, keep gods out of the "Public" classrooms, appropriately the gods must be kept at home and at private places of worship to protect The USA Constitutional right of all citizens.
2. Why has the Presidential Medal of Freedom never been awarded to great North American Citizens like RHStallman (GNU...OSS), PZimmermann (PGP), NNegroponte (OLPC)...?
Well, now that we are "The Banana Republic" of North America ranking 23rd in economic health, 50+ in medicine and science, 45+ in education and literacy... we need to accept the future we have built for our children and posterity, and accept the rule of the elite sociopath community of plutocrats (C*Os, politicians, clergy...)
