So a value is a constant and examples of constants are domains, relations and tuples. Is this correct?

I would agree that RM's scope is broader than that of MV and hierarchal. While a model's flaws makes is "fatal" for some scope of applications, doesn't it make it more efficient for some limited cases? Do you know of a data model without flaws? Which one? What exactly is a "fatal flaw" with respect to data models? Received on Tue Jan 04 2005 - 09:50:49 CST
