Ok first of all the Drupal DB system is complicated perhaps too much for you to understand. I have been a developer for almost 8 years now. I have been involved in projects ranging from web sites to AI and I can't say that I fully understand the Drupal DB abstraction layer and all of the things going on in the system.

I don't think that you will either. Not after a WHOLE WEEK, perhaps TWO! Give me a break! Noooo, unless you just happen to be smarter than a whole room full of Albert Einsteins, I don't think you'll get it. Perhaps you never will.

Drupal was chosen by MTV, IBM, Sony, Yahoo, and a plethora of other highly mission critical companies and organizations to help them accomplish very useful tasks. These guys may not even be able to fully understand the system. Surely not in a week or two... Duh...

You sir, have a fairly elevated idea of your cranial capacities if you think you are going to sit down and understand the Drupal DBasing system in no time flat. Would you understand the core principals of particle physics after a couple of weeks. No sir! Drupal has been developed by some of the brightest minds around and I am sure that they know what they are doing much better than you know what they are doing.

That said, I think that there is a great probability that there are some bugs. Almost no software is without some bugs or instances where a bug may become present. Semantic errors will sometimes crop up unless you are dealing with the most simplistic of programs.

At any rate, evaluate the system for a few years, then make such assessments. Not before.
