Once again. There is NO some "Relation valued attributes" in set of relations in R-projections at all. But there is a complex structure in orthogonal OO-projection, but this is NOT relational projection.

R-projection is pure relational system where set of relations, defined on set of ONLY scalar domains, exist only. OO-projection is really OO system.

O I've heard these words very often. But nobody can show it :). In TheORM all these things looks really simply. In TheORM we don't need use the things like "sub-relvalrs and super-relvars, relation type definition" you write about to get really polymorphous system. Just usual relations - it's enough.

I couldn't. Nobody have been able still. Can you? Show me an example. Received on Thu Apr 20 2006 - 07:40:51 CEST
