An Access Path Specification Language For Restructuring Network Databases
Summary: APSL is a high-level, nonprocedural language for restructuring network databases via access strategies and selection criteria. Rooted in the Relational Interface Model, it describes source structures; restructurings are those expressible by relational algebra (Join/Select/Project/Union).
