There is one individual type that *IS* prerequisite to the definition of RM and/or Relational Algebra, and that's type boolean. Without boolean, we cannot express/evaluate equality, and without that, we cannot define JOIN, INTERSECT, MINUS, TCLOSE, the whole damn lot. Received on Wed Jun 21 2006 - 15:29:47 CEST
