Encyclopedia > D (data language specification)

D is a set of requirements proposed by Christopher J. Date and Hugh Darwen in The Third Manifesto for what they believe a relational language ought to be like; D is not a language itself. Tutorial D is an abstract instantiation of D, described and used in The Third Manifesto. While Tutorial D was never meant to see usage outside of instruction, it has been proposed to extend it into a would-be Industrial D, to create real systems in. Christopher J. Date is an independent author, lecturer, researcher, and consultant, specializing in relational database technology. ... Hugh Darwen, employee of IBM UK from 1967 to 2004, has been involved in the history of the relational model since the beginning. ... The Third Manifesto (1995) is Christopher J. Dates and Hugh Darwens proposal for future relational database management systems that would avoid Object-Relational Impedance Mismatch between object-oriented programming languages and RDBMSs by fully supporting all the capabilities of the relational model. ... Tutorial D is an example of a truly relational database query language, developed by Christopher J. Date and Hugh Darwen and described in The Third Manifesto. ...


Implementations

D’s first implementation is D4, written in C#. D4 is the flagship language of Alphora's Dataphor. Others include Rel, Opus and Duro D4 is a computer language used in Dataphor, a truly Relational Database Management System. ... C# redirects here. ... Dataphor is a truly relational database management system, unlike SQL which actually inherently violates several principles of the relational database management model. ...

MARC Code List for Languages (1726 words)
Additional codes for individual languages are created from time to time when it becomes apparent that a significant body of literature in a particular language already exists, or when it is determined that the amount of material in a language is growing.
While some individual languages are given their own unique code, although linguistically they are part of a language group, many individual languages are assigned a group code, because it is not considered practical to establish a separate code for each.
Ancient languages which are not given unique codes are assigned the code for the major language group to which each belongs, rather than the code for the modern language which evolved from the ancient language.
RFC 1951 DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification ver 1.3 (3177 words)
Data elements are packed into bytes in order of increasing bit number within the byte, i.e., starting with the least-significant bit of the byte.
As noted above, encoded data blocks in the "deflate" format consist of sequences of symbols drawn from three conceptually distinct alphabets: either literal bytes, from the alphabet of byte values (0..255), or pairs, where the length is drawn from (3..258) and the distance is drawn from (1..32,768).
Source code for a C language implementation of a "deflate" compliant compressor and decompressor is available within the zlib package at ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/zlib/.
