Good reading on relationship nomenclature

Chris Date has written an excellent paper of clarifying and naming different types of relationships between sets. Typically, folks use sloppy terms like "one-to-one" or "one-to-many", but those terms lack enough detail to actually define the relationship.

The paper is All for One, One for All. I know there's some other Perl data/relational nerds out there who will like this.


mmm...I dunno

Clearly you haven't read Ovid's journal.

He's not alone. There are two of us sitting morosely in this padded little cell, wondering why we're in here when clearly it's everyone else who is crazy.
