I have been trying to understand the TransRelational model myself. I don't think simply having column based tables make the TR model. Sybase IQ has column based table. KDB has column based tables (Dennis Shasha calls them Arrables or array tables). MonetDB is not only based on 'columns' but there is an actual open source implementation
(http://monetdb.cwi.nl).

The most interesting research I have seen is something called DODO. There are some papers:
--The Dodo Query Flattening System
(http://www.ub.utwente.nl/webdocs/ctit/1/0000010d.pdf )
--A general approach to query flattening
(http://db.cs.utwente.nl/Publications/PaperStore/db-utwente-42D3A95D.pdf
)
There are some others which I can't find right now.
