Abstract
We propose a universal relation scheme database
model based on the assumption that there is a
unique connection among any set of attributes in a
relational database. We use the notion of object
([Sc],[MU])
to give a database designer the ability
to control how connections in the database are to
be made. We show how semantic considerations that
follow naturally from the unique connection assumption
constrain how objects and the underlying base
relations must be syntactically related. We illustrate
and motivate our definitions and constraints
with several simple examples.
