Method and system for intra-table referential integrity for relational database systems

摘要

In a relational database management system (RDBMS), a method of processing related records can include receiving a plurality of related records and inserting the plurality of related records into a single table of an RDBMS. The plurality of related records can be associated as a set within the single table using a published function of the RDBMS. Responsive to a triggering condition, particular related records of the set can be selectively purged from the single table.
