Came here to basically say this much. Part of me feels already that databases are already too hugely complex. The "do one thing, well" part of me wants one application for data storage, and then middleware for relationship enforcement, stored procedures, etc. That's likely too pedantic for most but I really see wanting your data layer to be your application layer as a silly throwback. Also isn't this a similar idea to what FileMaker Bento did?
