I think you might have meant "the relational data model" where you wrote "relational database theory". True?
Could you give an example?
If you design part of your database to be relational, and another part to be something else that's not conformant to relational, how do you use data from the two parts together in an integrated fashion? Or is that too much to ask? Received on Sat Nov 01 2008 - 08:57:48 CDT
