Typed Query Languages for Databases Containing Queries
Summary: Introduces the Relational Meta Algebra, a statically typed extension of relational algebra that treats stored relational-algebra expressions as first-class values to enable typed meta-programming and modeling of procedural data in databases. Analyzes typing trade-offs, proves equivalence to a first-order calculus, and establishes the formalism's global expressive power and non-redundancy while characterizing limitations of a strict typing discipline for meta data.
