glad you mentioned Relational, Inc. Otherwise one would get the impression that M$ invented everything that is in the current Sql standard. Especially now that Sql Server 2008 is more like Oracle 10/11 than ever, which is actually a good thing.

Since I have a primordial hatred for Oracle, I'll have to strongly disagree with that notion.

Thanks for this Stairway!
I would add only a couple of references - background for the Relational Model:

A SQL query walks into a bar and sees two tables. He walks up to them and asks, "Can I join you?"
