[snip excellent db discourse]

My fault, I accidentally used a database term.

But I wasn't using it in the database sense, but in the ordinary
sense of "causing" or "resulting in." Should have realized what
I was saying and that it would cause confusion.

But I think it was said well a few posts ago: I am wishing that
KB had its own built-in ORM. At least, I think that's accurate.
