Abstract

A method of operating on a database is disclosed. In the disclosed method, a plurality of computational operations may be selected. Each of the plurality of selected computational operations may be associated with one or more of a plurality of relationships. A sequence of declarations may be associated with a database. Each declaration may include at least one entity and at least one relationship of the plurality of relationships. For each declaration, the at least one of the plurality of computational operations associated with the at least one relationship included in the declaration may be performed on the declaration.

Claims
