A functional constituency, in Hong Kong politics, refers to professional and special interest groups involved in the electoral process.
In Hong Kong, since 1998 only 24 of the 60 legislative council seats are directly elected by the people (geographic constituencies), with 30 elected by functional constituencies and 6 by an 800 member election committee. Beginning with the 2004 Hong Kong LegCo election, the number of directly elected seats was increased to 30 while the election committee was abolished.

Databases would seem to be an inappropriate application for functional languages since, a purely functional language would have to return a new copy of the entire database every time (part of) it was updated.
To be practically scalable, the update mechanism must clearly be destructive rather than functional; however it is quite feasible for the query language to be purely functional so long as the database is considered as an argument.
Query optimisation is very important for database languages in general and the referential transparency of functional languages allows optimisations which would be harder to verify in presence of side-effects.
