Bulk Types: Built-in or Add-On?

  • Chapter
Fully Integrated Data Environments

Part of the book series: Esprit Basic Research Series ((ESPRIT BASIC))

Abstract

Bulk structures play a central rĂ´le in data-intensive application programming. The issues of bulk type definition and implementation as well as their integration into database programming languages are, therefore, key topics in current DBPL research.
