And the InnoDB implementors seem to have as much a distorted mind as the
rest of the MySQL Team:

"Exchange on MySQL and Innobase: Are They DBMSs, Let Alone Relational?"
http://www.dbdebunk.com/

One of the "pearls" by Heikki Tuuri from Innobase:

"This is semantics, but I think Codd and Date in the 70s meant by a
relational database something which has a relational query language. Thus
any database which has a query language somewhat similar to the relational
algebra or SQL can be called a relational database."

Should tell you something about what kind of product they are building.
