Universal Relation Views: A Pragmatic Approach
Summary: Universal Relation Views expose the entire relational schema as a single universal relation, enabling navigation-free queries. Core idea: unambiguity of the base schema and a universal assumption, with no prerequisites, for consistent user understanding. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
