Would Cobol style records be relevant in current database
programming? I'm asking because of Annex F, Information Systems
combined with the elaborate base types of Ada always seemed to be
a good match for an RDBMS that uses more than INT, REAL,
and CHARACTER VARYING. (Is anyone in the wild actually using
a money type or a decimal type in table definitions?)
