I am probably just being thick, but how is your idea different from create domain:

Subject: [HACKERS] Proposal: First step towards Intelligent,integrated database
Importance: High
Hello,
Here is the proposal: My 1st step towards Intelligent, Integrated database. I am explaining the proposal with the use of example.
Example: We will have a master table say CustMast and a transaction table say salesOrder table.
View of CustMast:
CustCode Number(5),
CustName Varchar(30),
CustAdrsLine1 Varchar,
CustAdrsLine2 varchar etc.
View of SalesOrder:
Sordno Number(8),
Sorddt date,
CustCode Number(5) - present way of defining.
Proposed way is:
CustCode Object CustMast. --- New data type to be introduced called “O” Object and create table definition to be modified whenever data type is ‘O’, it will accept object name (in this case table name). Here I want to inform data definition that field and its data type is already defined in master table and use the same data type here and both tables are linked with this field.
We will be using same field name in both tables if not along with table name field name is to be accepted in create table definition.
Advantages:
1. Now database knows that custcode in salesorder is a foreign key, a table constraint can be created. It also knows that index to be created on this field.
2. In present situation select statement for selecting values from join of both tables will be
Select sordno, sorddt, custcode, custname, custadrsline1
from salesorder, custmast
where salesorder.custcode=custmast.custcode.
3. In proposed way we can write this statement as:
Select sordno, sorddt, custcode, custname, custadrsline1
from salesorder (with proper changes in program which pickup values from select statement.
4. Field can be from another table in same database or from Excel sheet column.
5. Views need not be created as all tables are properly linked with each other in an application.
6. This is only first step and many advantages can be a result of brainstorm.
7. This will change RDBMS, Tools and ERP to next generation.
For any clarifications pl contact. Pl give your feedback.
Regards Many,
Vijay Ghatpande.

Create domain is only useful for abstracting common constraints on fields into single location for maintenance.

Hello there was a very similar design in ANSI SQL 99. I have documentation only in Czech, but probably you can find a sources about OOP part in ANSI/SQL. CREATE TABLE children( id int primary key, parent ref(parents) name .. ... and you can write queries like SELECT name, parent->name FROM children Regards Pavel Stehule see a object support in ANSI/SQL - keywords ref, scope, 2010/12/1 <ghatpande@vsnl.net>: > Hello, > > > > Here is the proposal: My 1st step towards Intelligent, Integrated database. > I am explaining the proposal with the use of example. > > Example: We will have a master table say CustMast and a transaction table > say salesOrder table. > > View of CustMast: > > CustCode Number(5), > > CustName Varchar(30), > > CustAdrsLine1 Varchar, > > CustAdrsLine2 varchar etc. > > View of SalesOrder: > > Sordno Number(8), > > Sorddt date, > > CustCode Number(5) - present way of defining. > > Proposed way is: > > CustCode Object CustMast. --- New data type to be introduced called “O” > Object and create table definition to be modified whenever data type is ‘O’, > it will accept object name (in this case table name).

It's still unclear what this does that you don't get from inheritance,
typed tables, use of a table's rowtype as a field type, or CREATE TABLE
LIKE. This isn't exactly virgin territory.

It means you no longer have to write explicit joins (or perhaps more accurately, you no longer haveto specify exactly how to join the two tables). Already exists: http://htsql.org/ -- -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://www.pgexperts.com
The aim of HTSQL is only to avoid joins. Need to setup HTSQL server. On startup introspects table relationships. Relationships are edges in a graph model. Processortranslates graph requests into SQL. Some limitations: No custom commands, primitive formatters. Query results are not streaming. No way to override catalog configuration. My proposal has no limitations. Its primary aim is to make database intelligent. Avoiding joins is one of the aim and notthe only aim. I am sure that the ultimate output of my proposal is NEXT GENERATION DATABASE. It will change database andERP world. regards, Vijay.

I know world's population. Non of the person thinks alike and still many peoples goal can be the same. Nothing is virginin this world. If someone thinks like that then it is a mistake. My aim is to prove that Postgresql can be the greatleader if we put natural intelligence in database which is missing all over. Regards, Vijay.

I know world's population. Non of the person thinks alike and still many peoples goal can be the same. Nothing is virgin in this world. If someone thinks like that then it is a mistake. My aim is to prove that Postgresql can be the great leader if we put natural intelligence in database which is missing all over. And what is that intelligence?
