Abstract

A relational database is one that is built and operated in accordance with the Relational Model of Data proposed by E. F. Codd (1970). This model has now gained wide acceptance and has engendered a great deal of additional study covering numerous aspects of database theory and practice. The Third Manifesto, by Hugh Darwen and C. J. Date (1995) is a modern reaffirmation and in certain respects a clarification of the Relational Model.
