As an aside...

I don't mean key/value data. I mean N-dimensional data where N > 2. 
Medical records are (can be) a relatively simple example of 
3-dimensional data: they cover patient information over time. Sparse 
array databases were developed specifically because these kinds of data 
don't fit into tables.

My assertion stands: trying to shoe-horn non-relational data into a 
relational database is foolish.
