Performance enhancement for relational systems through query compilation
Randy Howard Katz · 1979 International Workshop on Managing Requirements Knowledge (MARK) · 1979
In recent years, considerable research has been directed toward the relational model of data first proposed in Reference 5 . The advantages of this approach have been discussed elsewhere, however they can be summarized as follows: (1) the user is presented with a very simple view of his data (i.e., organized as tables of information), (2) the user is freed from explicitly knowing the underlying implementation structure of his data (i.e., data independence) and (3) very powerful non-procedural, set-oriented query languages can be defined for the relational model because of its simple conceptual structure.
