martinphillips@ladybridge.com of LadyBridge..... wrote back to me on
the topic of using
OpenQM with Ruby.

OpenQM is a multi-field database based on Pick/Universe/Everyone...
"OpenQM uses the post-relational model in which the First Law of
Normalisation is discarded, allowing multiple values such as a list of
products in an order to be stored together."

He said if Ruby can do cgi-bin, then it can access the OpenQM DB.
Intriguing.
On this page there is a clue to access techniques:

Q: When you put this against node-xml access, does xml imply it also
discards the First Law?
