- Part III of reference [B94] has been implemented as a prototype relational database (in InterBase). Derived attributes were represented as computed columns in SQL views. The conceptual model was implemented in the DB-MAIN CASE tool, in which:
- the declarative language of [B94] was associated to specify the computing rules of the derived attributes,
- a plugin was developed to check and translate the rule language and to generate the DDL script creating the views.
- computing model, equational model, spreadsheet, spreadsheet design, spreadsheet errors, spreadsheet/database coupling
