Re: Replacing WebSQL with a Relational Data Model.

Hi,

>(FWIW, I'm also not quite sure that leaving Web SQL behind is a good idea,
but unfortunately I am not really
>capable of specifying the SQL dialect.)

Thats the great thing about the relational algebra, its a very useful subset
of SQL, is complete and has a formal mathematical definition.

Infact we can refer to a programming language as relationally complete, if
it provides for the construction of all relations derivable from some set of
base relations by the application of the primitive algebraic operations.
(thanks to Google for that definition).


Cheers,
Keean.
