Multi-dimensional data bases
What are your views on Multidimensional databases? Can't we consider relational DBs as a special instance of MDDs. If so, is there a way in which we van determine the optimum number of dimensions for a given data set? Wouldn't this concept really be nifty if we had at-least 3-D physical memory?

This might present some interesting possibilities when it comes to DB programming, but at any given time, a human viewer will be able to digest only a two dimensional subset of the data.
