Read small file (1) into memory and initialise variables "pointing" directly
to other small files (Cells) 2, 3 and 4.
Go directly to them ("By Direct Reference") and read them into memory also,
overriding any variables already set or not set above ("inheritance")
Combine and process the data returning a response to the outer shell/s
("Input interface or language translation module and Output Format")
Results, access "any volume of data" with the "same minimal response time",
albeit batch type processing is a bit frail at the moment.
This isn't clear I know, but it sure is interesting, and quite frankly I'm
passed caring about trying to persuade others about the benefit ;-)
All said and done you do put yourself forward very well (not that you need
my compliments)
Kind Regards
Maurice

Reference by pointers doesn't mean RLA to me at all ...
That's odd. It seemed to me that that OODBMS might use RLA methods to
reference serialized objects, like RPG uses RLA methods to reference
serialized records - via pointers. RPG may read a record into an internal
structure, while an OODBMS may de-serialize an object when "read". Oh well,
that article seemed rather vague.
