A Pragmatic Approach to Structured Database Design
Summary: Module-based, two-tier DB design to tame complexity and enforce integrity; spec level is DBMS-agnostic, representation maps to SQL/DS. Key ideas: extension and subsumption constructors for incremental, integrity-preserving refinement, plus a module-graph to capture structure. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
