I agree with you and Stephen Forte, Steve. We should embrace the impedance mismatch. The realtional interface is not a problem that needs to be solved. Lazy and unqualified developers is.

Thanks. It was an interesting point that I hadn't seen made. And when I was in Redmond talking with the LINQ developers, I felt like they'd given up on that and that was the idea of LINQ. Instead of teaching SQL, hide it from them.
I think we should embrace SQL and give some good solid inner and outer join skills to developers and get them to think as Jr DBAs. They don't need to understand every problem, but we want them to be able to think of SQL as a tool, not a hindrance.

And the funny things is, what I always liked the most about SQL was how easy it was. IMHO, it is a lot easier than any 3GL/OO language that I've ever worked in (at least 20, professionally).
