Is there any independent research available on the Associated Model of Data? Any other database models that are new or evolving in addition to the forthcoming Transrelational Model?

The "Associative Model" is not a data model at all. It's nonsense.

 

As far as we know, there cannot be a model other than the relational model; that’s logic applied to databases, and we don’t envision a replacement for logic in the foreseeable future.

 

The TransRelational™ Model is an implementation approach, not a replacement of the relational model.

Thank you for the clarifying the term "model".

 

Are there any new implementation approaches for the relational model in addition to the forthcoming implementation approach of the Transrelational Model?

 

Is the "Associated Model of Data" an implementation approach for the relational model?

 

If the answer is "No", then what type or classification term can most accurately describe it?

 

If the answer is "Yes", then would it be accurate to remove the word "Data" and rename AMD to the "Associated Model"?

 

If the answer is "No", then why?

 

 

From: Fabian Pascal

 

No that we know of.

No. The "associative model" has nothing to do with the relational model.

We don' really know, because its description is very confused, and so is its inventor.

We don't know, because we can't tell what exactly it is. Model of what? Did you ask its inventor?

Do you know what a data model is? If not, find out from our and recommended writings, then you'll be able to figure out if AMD is one, or not.
