Re: C# 3.0 with pseudorelational extensions

Yeah - now that's interesting .....

Someone is taking relational theory, and applying it directly into a programming language environment. And the homework has been done. Note also the parsing trick of the syntax order: from -> where -> select, rather than SQL's select -> from -> where, which makes one-pass parsing possible. I can't see what the type/domain model looks like though ...

Picking up Codd's insights and seeing how to make it work in places other than persistent data stores seems like a much more productive use of one's time than endlessly villifying evil vendors for their manifold defects.

Harder work, of course. Received on Thu Sep 15 2005 - 10:59:43 CDT
