Where by "map" you speak loosey-goosey not mathematics.

But it may very well be that all entities of type user are hosted in the database as tuple inside a User table.

So for some subset of types X (user, account, order, product) etc, for each type X_type there's a corresponding X_table in the database. And there's nothing wrong with that, Date and your unargumented opinion notwithstanding. Received on Mon Nov 15 2004 - 12:01:52 CST
