It doesn’t have to. With RDM Server, a database with network model functionality, and the resulting performance benefits, can be defined within SQL, in an application that uses SQL as the sole database API. The only difference is the addition of RDM Server’s CREATE/JOIN statement to the database schema. This creates a direct link between the primary and foreign keys of selected tables. Queries, even purely SQL queries, no longer traverse indexes between tables. The result is improved performance.
