The relational model specifically includes provisions for the definition of operators. Moreover, these operators, like all the objects in a relational system are exposed in the system catalog, and managed by the database system. So in what way does the relational model not provide for the management of "organizational intelligence"? On the contrary, it provides an excellent basis for this management, as evidenced by your own solution to this perceived problem. Received on Sat May 22 2004 - 07:47:29 CEST
