Most places I’ve worked (as a mainstream Oracle developer), the biggest problem is not that the relational model is not appropriate, but that the people building the systems don’t understand the model in the first place. And this has become a much bigger problem since OO languages like Java took over the middle tier application space, because there is still a tendency for inexperienced OO developers to regard the database as simply a glorified flat-file, rather than a massively powerful tool for managing your data in a robust and flexible manner. So they end up writing lots of complex processing to do stuff that a database is already designed to do for you really easily. Then they complain about the nasty old relational database.
Extremely well said!!
