About: Universal relation assumption

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The universal relation assumption in relational databases states, that one can place all data attributes into a (possibly very wide) table, which may then be decomposed into smaller tables as needed. However, the assumption that a single large table can capture real database designs is often plagued with a number of difficulties. The "nested universal relation" model has attempted to address some of the problems and offer improvements.
