Just to kill time over coffee - what do you take the word to mean? I've just been reading a 1991 James Martin book on Object Orientation and he was using it to talk about links between entities. Chris Date was very specific that a relation was essentially a table. Mainly however, people seem to use the word to describe the connections you can make by performing joins between tables. What do you think is 'correct'? How did the other meaning gain currency?
I see James Martin owns an island in Bermuda and has been handing out millions all over the place - a good incentive to start writing those books you've been thinking about. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/What-is-a-Relation--tp24674278p24674278.html Sent from the SQLite mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
