	Relational Quantum Mechanics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Relational quantum mechanics is an interpretation of quantum theory which discards the notions of absolute state of a system, absolute value of its physical quantities, or absolute event.
		Relational interpretations of quantum mechanics propose a solution to the interpretational difficulties of quantum theory based on the idea of weakening the notions of the state of a system, event, and the idea that a system, at a certain time, may just have a certain property.
		Relational interpretations push this intuition further, by stating that, even when interacting, the position of the electron is only determined in relation to a certain observer, or to a certain quantum reference system, or similar.

	Relational model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The relational model depends on the law of excluded middle under which anything that is not true is false and anything that is not false is true; it also requires every tuple in a relation body to have a value for every attribute of that relation.
		Usually in the relational model a database schema is said to consist of a set of relation names, the headers that are associated with these names and the constraints that should hold for every instance of the database schema.
		A relation schema (H, C) consists of a header H and a predicate C(R) that is defined for all relations R with header H.

	Relational theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics and philosophy, a relational theory is a framework to understand reality or a physical system in such a way that the position and other properties of the objects are only meaningful relatively to other objects.
		The relational point of view was advocated by Gottfried von Leibniz, Ernst Mach (in his Mach's principle), and it was rejected by Isaac Newton in his successful description of classical physics.
		A developing theory of gravity, loop quantum gravity, is revisiting the relational view.

	THEORY OF RELATIONAL CONSISTENCE
		"Theory of Relational Consistency - revised in May 2006" This Theory of Relational Consistency is the scientific post-quantum expression of the Vedic and Buddhist view on Totality, and the solution of the age-old problem of its subjective/objective double face.
		There are many different interpretations of the quantum theory proposed and discussed among scientists, but the one that seems less to correspond to the experimental facts and the theoretical formalism is exactly the realistic interpretation, that states the existence of an objective reality independent of whom observes.
		The Theory of Relational Consistency proposes that Euclidean 3-dimensional space adjusts to the objective face of wholeness â“ that one we call real â“ the existential locus of matter and objects that physical science recognizes as such.

	On Relational Theory: Questioning the Dogma
		However, considering how much as been written about the fact that RDBMS vendors are not remaining true to the relational model, and regularly go beyond it, it tells me that although they may be interested in relational theory they're only acting on it when it makes practical sense.
		Many people within IT are overly specialized, a reflection of the Tayloristic theories inflicted on IT in the 1960s and 1970s, and as a result they have an unjustified belief in the importance of their specialty.
		Relational theory has had important impacts on the IT industry, in particular the SQL language and RDBMSs are at least partially based upon it, but that was way back in the 1970s.

	The Relational Attitude in Gestalt Therapy Theory and Practice
		Gestalt therapy theory is relational in its core, although some talk and practice of gestalt therapy is not consistent with the principles.
		In relational gestalt therapy we believe it is essential to good psychotherapy to be sensitive to the conditions leading to shame and to minimize iatrogenic shame in psychotherapy practice and training.
		Relational therapy is an approach within gestalt therapy that is strongly centered on existential phenomenology, dialogic existentialism, and cognitive grounding in field theory.

		Relational social theory can be found in the works of Hegel, Marx, Simmel, Mannheim, Mead, Saussure, Lévi-Strauss, Althusser, Foucault and Bourdieu.
		In order to develop his figurational and relational social theory Elias makes two claims: 1) the only theoretically sustainable point of departure for a social theory is to study human beings, human society (and maybe also other animals but we leave this aside for the moment!) in a relational perspective!
		In other words, the first social relation to be studied is not the single individual or a man-woman relation (family) or man-nature (subject-object).

		Contracts in which the relations between the parties have great significance lie at the ‘relational end’ of the spectrum; contracts in which the relations are of minor significance lie at the ‘discrete end’ of the spectrum.
		Macneil argues that: (i) relational contracts may sometimes be dealt with by relatively discrete contract law because of the discrete elements in common contract norms; (ii) relational contract law need not always ‘track closely’ the behaviour of contracts and norms; and (iii) laws need not aim to preserve relations.
		Relational considerations are given no pre-eminence over other, possibly idiosyncratic notions of fairness; unfettered fairness is at once too broad and too narrow to form the basis of a relational approach.

	Relational database theory for practitioners
		In fact, the relational model can itself be seen as a small branch of mathematics; as such, it evolves over time as new theorems are proved and new results discovered.
		First, and obviously enough, the concept of relation is itself part of the model: users have to know what relations are, they have to know they're made up of tuples and attributes, they have to know how to interpret them, and so on.
		But they don't have to know how relations are physically stored on the disk, or how individual data values are physically encoded, or what indexes or other access paths exist; all that is part of the implementation, not part of the model.

		"But the truth is that theory--at least the theory I'm talking about here, which is relational theory--is most definitely very practical indeed." Relational theory is not just theory for its own sake, Date observes; the purpose of that theory is to allow people to build systems that are one hundred percent practical.
		This one great idea--the relational model--was first introduced to the world in 1969 by E. Codd in his seminal paper, "Derivability, Redundancy, and Consistency of Relations Stored in Large Data Banks," and it forms the basis for all database products in wide use today.
		Few technology professionals can afford to be without a solid grounding in the fundamentals of relational database technology, yet many today who work with database have had no formal training in relational theory.

	Are Oo And Relational Orthogonal Discussion
		But relational database implementations are tailored to the tasks of storing and retrieving large quantities of data efficiently, combining that data in various ways to get customized views of it, letting you state what the correctness requirements for that data are, and ensuring that the data adheres to those constraints.
		Relational theory is about how to organize data, operate on it conveniently to get various well-defined results, and how to constrain data so that it remains meaningful.
		Relational theory has a very compact and widely accepted core; matters of contentious debate center around a very few well-known issues, and there is still research ongoing to expand the scope or understand better all the implications of the theory, but there's little disagreement at the core.

	Carol Edmondson's Website - Relational Theory
		The various keys of a relation are often known as candidate keys; the name implies a selection process whereby one of the candidate keys will be designated as the primary key.
		In the relational model a candidate key of a relation is a set of attributes of that relation such that (1) in all instances of that relation it holds that there are no two distinct tuples with the same values for these attributes and (2) there is not a proper subset for which (1) holds.
		For practical reasons RDBMSs usually require that for each relation one of its candidate keys is declared as the primary key, which means that it is considered as the preferred way to identify individual tuples.

	Incompleteness of the Relational Model & Theory - PRF Brown
		This reflects a limitation in potential of current theory (ie: the Relational Model) to appropriately and satisfactorily describe this fundamental state of affairs with respect to database systems and their management.
		It is believed that this is acceptible because the Relational Theory of the data was believed to be integrally complete.
		Relational Theory has a Godel-like incompleteness that may be simply specified: The Relational Model of the data is incomplete because it cannot adequately address RDBMS stored procedure object data.

		In "The Relational Theory of Space" the employment of the method of extensive abstraction results in the production of a single logical model which in turn is given a dual application.
		In the relational theory Whitehead attempts to mitigate this almost ineffable character of points by establishing a connection between points and objects.
		In "The Relational Theory of Space," however, this structure for the physical universe is suggested as a mere speculative possibility, and it plays no essential role in subsequent sections of the treatise.

	3. The Relational Model.
		In theory, a fully normalised data base is desirable to avoid duplication of information and the consequent risk of inconsistency after updating.
		A useful aspect of the relational model is that the data definition may itself is represented in tabular form; data descriptions may be created and examined using extensions to the relational query language.
		Given this simple and restricted data structure, it is possible to define some very powerful relational operators which, from the users' point of view, act and#144;in parallel' on all entries in a table simultaneously, although their implementation may require conventional processing.

	15 Seconds : Introduction to Relational Databases - Part 1: Theoretical Foundation
		The concept of relational databases was first described by Edgar Frank Codd (almost exclusively referenced as E. Codd in technical literature) in the IBM research report RJ599, dated August 19th, 1969.
		The data manipulation sublanguage of a relational DBMS must enable application programs and terminal activities to remain logically unimpaired whether and whenever data are physically centralized or distributed.
		If a relational system has or supports a low-level (single-record-at-a-time) language, that low-level language cannot be used to subvert or bypass the integrity rules or constraints expressed in the higher-level (multiple-records-at-a-time) relational language.
