Re: foundations of relational theory?

>> ........In my opinion, that would be like stating that English propositions should be written without compound subjects or predicates because it can be and making it more complex adds complexity without adding power. There is no mathematics that suggests that data should be stored in first normal form. There are several other myths in RDBMS theory ........ <<

How about some books on database concepts & data management principles? Date's Intro book can help.

>>....I have a master's degree in mathetmatics, and it seems to me that
Codd's use of simple relations for persisting language propositions is flawed at its core. The mathematics of language ......It's time to kill the relational model and gain some agility back into the development process -- right? Cheers! <<

Apparently a master's degree does not equate to knowledge. You have got almost everything wrong and/or baseless here.
