I thought I was a nutcase about schema design before, but I'm going to be totally coo-coo from now on. It's like trying to change a lizard into a human being while somehow preserving all of the lizard during the transformation.
I've often wondered where it's possible to design (or discover?) some kind of universal meta-schema, so that relational data becomes as intuitive as basic data types

That's an interesting thought. I've enjoyed meta-programming when I've done it. You end up with a bunch of mini languages for doing things that abstract away the drudgery. I haven't thought about it much in schema design.
Oh, I just recalled there's relational algebra that we'd use in database classes. I suspect there's some research on this out there.

Pretty cool. I would've loved to study stuff like this full time
