Educate me. How does your toy set theory contribute to database
applications?

My "toy set theory" includes all set theory that is needed to build any
database applications. But it's nothing new in that respect.

In what sense can someone use set theory to build a database
application? And if it's nothing new in this respect, why did you
repeatedly claim, "Look, my Implementable Set Theory e.g. is covering
all Database Applications on Earth, which is .. a billion dollar
business!"

Hey, like you say, I'm just a lowly philosopher, so I don't understand
important things like database applications. You'll have to help me
out here. Suppose I have a database consisting of employee records
(name, gender, income, let's say) and I have an application that sorts
the database on name and prints a payroll check for each employee.
How do I build that application using your set theory? And why is
building that application in set theory something I might want to do?
