Quotations
33 ;;Quote: a domain or scalar data type is a named set of scalar values; name equivalence
36 ;;Quote: a tuple value is an array of typed, attribute-value triples; its typed attributes is the heading; its length is the degree
173 ;;Quote: a database relation is a set of tuples, without duplicates
173 ;;Quote: nulls are not values; a database relation does not contain nulls nor need many-valued logic
187 ;;Quote: no value shall possess an ID that is distinct from the value per se
187+;;Quote: object IDs produce a pointer free-for-all as found in prerelational databases
187+;;Quote: object IDs are logically nothing but pointers to objects
449 ;;Quote: if nulls aren't values, then relations with null values aren't relations and the relational model is lost
449 ;;Quote: represent missing values, as appropriate, by the empty set, empty string, "UNKNOWN", etc.
449 ;;Quote: if an attribute value is not known than the tuple can not be constructed or inserted into a relvar
450 ;;Quote: no method exists for treating null marks orthogonally w.r.t. data types
