As hobby I'm building a relational language, and think the problem that the RDBMS folks have overlooked is how operate in partail relations (like slices or tables with less + more fields). You are set with the initial schema and that is. Is not easy to store arbitrary portions of relations, not is even easy to operate in-memory instead.

Plus, the fact the DB is far from the code miss a lot of oportunities.

In my mind, I think the solution is not to have a "database language + storage far away" but code all the app with a embebed db.

Is not as weird as it sound. This is how we operate with foxpro.
