wiki:
"A relation is a data structure which consists of a heading and an unordered set of tuples which share the same type."

wiki:
"In mathematics, a binary relation on a set A is a collection of ordered pairs of elements of A. In other words, it is a subset of the Cartesian product A2 = A × A. More generally, a binary relation between two sets A and B is a subset of A × B."

says nothing about difference between "relation" and "relationships". binary relations? exactly what i have in mind: every binary relation can be implemented as table of pairs (2 field tuples) of references to sets' elements. Received on Fri Sep 16 2011 - 13:23:59 CEST
