Dadam et al., "A DBMS Prototype to Support Extended NF2 Relations: An Integrated View on Flat Tables and Hierarchies." Proc. ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data, Washington, DC (June 1986) Mark A. Roth and Henry F. Korth. "The Design of Non1NF Relational Databases into Nested Normal Form." Proc. ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data, San Francisco, CA (May 1987) Latha S. Colby. "A Recursive Algebra and Query Optimization for Nested Relations." Proc. ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data, Portland, Oregon (June 1989) I've lost track of this thread over the years, but I hear through the grapevine that Pick claims to have actually implemented this. Hope this helps. -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ Neil Raden - nraden@ix.netcom.com or NRaden@aol.com _/ _/ Archer Decision Sciences, Inc. _/ 133 E.
