Toward Logical Data Independence: A Relational Query Language without Relations
Summary: Relation-free query language for logical data independence: tuple variables bind to a view defined by the attribute set X, not to specific relations. Attributes carry semantics; implicit binding makes and/or/not meaningful, yielding a compact, natural, attribute-centric language for decomposed schemas. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
