The Specification of a Relational Database (PRECI) as an abstract data type and its realisation in HOPE
Dundee College of Technology, Bell Street, Dundee, DD1 1HG, UK
Abstract data types are used to describe the PRECI canonical database and its algebraic language which is based on relational algebra. The HOPE language provides a vehicle by which these abstractions may be implemented directly. A HOPE implementation is achieved and provides a model against which implementations of PRECI may be verified for completeness and correctness.
