Comment: More detailed articles (Score 4, Informative) 453

Readers interested in what Pascal and Date have to say may be interested in visiting Database Debunkings. It has lots of articles written by one or both of them.

Personally, I recommend the articles written by Date because they are clearly, concisely, accurately, and calmly written. Pascal's tend to turn into a rant, which I wouldn't mind but he always seems to refer to his books rather than give a detailed justification of his arguments.

A formal parsing algorithm should not always be used. -- D. Gries
