Tables As a Paradigm for Querying and Restructuring
Summary: Proposes a tabular database model that generalizes relational, nested-relational and complex-object tables to capture a broad class of natural real-world table layouts. Introduces tabular algebra, proves completeness for a very general class of transformations, embeds diverse languages and positions the model as a theoretical foundation for OLAP.
