I have had this question for about two years know;  The first time I ever
saw the term ``post-relational'', was in an ad for MDBS.  It said
it was a ``post-relational, network-type database''.  Although I am not a
newcomer to the database arena, I've never been able to get a definition
on this.  Could some one please describe ``post-relational''?

Sincerely
