The init list should contain both low and high values (e.g., a value range -- for ROPEs) only if version=NewOnly (see documentation of RelationSubset's -- AttributeValueList for full specification of lookup). DeclareRelship may generate -- the same signals as SetF if the init list is used to create a new relationship. -- The error MultipleMatch is generated if more than one existing relationship matches init -- and version#NewOnly (use RelationSubset if you want more than one relationship). DestroyEntity: PROC[e: Entity]; -- Removes entity from its domain and destroys all relationships referencing the entity.

GetF: PROC[t: Relship, a: Attribute] RETURNS [Value]; -- Returns the given attribute value, an Entity, ROPE, REF INT, REF BOOL, etc. -- Returns the undefined value for one of these types if attribute not yet initialized, -- see documentation.

SetFS: PROC [t: Relship, a: Attribute, v: ROPE]; -- Sets field of relationship to the given Rope value, translating v to the type of a using -- the converse algorithm to GetFS above.

NameOf: PROC [e: Entity] RETURNS [s: ROPE]; -- Returns name of entity e. Allowed on relation, attribute, and domain entities too. DomainOf: PROC[e: Entity] RETURNS [Domain]; -- Returns entity e's domain (or more precisely, it returns the entity which represents -- e's domain).

A NIL constraint gives all of r. The ordering is unspecified, -- unless an index has been declared on the attributes in the constraint, in which case the -- result is lexicographically sorted on the concatenation of the indexed attribute values. The -- start parameter allows lexicographically sorted relationships to be enumerated in increasing -- or decreasing order: If start=last, the enumeration will start with the last relationship, i.e. -- NextRelship will return NIL and successive calls to PrevRelship will return the relationships. -- The converse is true if start=first. See the documentation for full specification & hints. -- See Rick Cattell for current state of the searchSegment argument; it specifies which segment -- to do the RelationSubset in. If it NIL, the search is done only in the segment in which r -- is defined. If it is non-NIL, the namesake of r in the specified segment is searched, with -- entities in the constraint list similarly mapped to that segment. If it has the special value -- $All, then namesakes of r in all segments are searched. The "namesake" of any entity in -- a segment is the entity in that segment with the same domain name and entity name. NextRelship: PROC[rs: RelshipSet] RETURNS [Relship]; -- Returns NIL when there are no more entities in the set. PrevRelship: PROC[rs: RelshipSet] RETURNS [Relship]; -- Can be used to back up a RelshipSet. Returns NIL when back to beginning. -- See Rick for state of current implementation.

As with RelationSubset, the start -- parameter allows the enumeration to start at the beginning or end: If start=last, the -- enumeration will start with the entity with the lexicographically largest name, i.e. -- NextEntity will return NIL and successive calls to PrevEntity will return the entities. -- The converse is true if start=first. If only highName is NIL, it defaults to lowName, -- i.e. we will search for the entity whose name exactly equals lowName. -- The searchSubDomains argument says whether to include entities in domains -- related to d through the SubType relation. The searchSegment argument is -- analogous to the searchSegment argument of RelationSubset; see Rick Cattell for -- current state of implementation. The searchSegment is ignored if NIL: -- the search is done in whatever segment d is defined in. It may not be NIL -- if d is a system domain, since they are defined in all segments and the DomainSubset -- call would be ambiguous. The special value $All causes the DomainSubset to enumerate -- entities in all open segments satisfying the query, mapping domain d to its namesake -- in each segment. NextEntity: PROC[es: EntitySet] RETURNS [Entity]; -- Returns NIL when no more entities in the set. PrevEntity: PROC[es: EntitySet] RETURNS [Entity]; -- Can be used to back up an EntitySet. Returns NIL when back to beginning. -- See Rick for state of current implementation.

Change Log Changed by Rick Cattell on 16-Aug-81 14:39:53 Added ERROR signals from DBTuples, at least some of them. Added default arguments to DeclareAttribute (so can use to look up attributes as well as create them), DomainSubset/RelationSubset (so can use to get all of domain or relation). V2I must return a REF INT instead of INT due to some Mesa compiler bug. Changed by Rick Cattell on 6-Nov-81 12:54:44 Added Uniqueness scheme for attributes, removed old special1to1 scheme for relations. Redesigned property routines. Added Name Elements. Added Subtype scheme. Changed by Rick Cattell on 29-Dec-81 14:20:59 Removed name elements, in favor of a more parsimonious scheme: define a 1-to-N NameElement relation between domains and existing binary relations. But i haven't time to implement this right now, so will add later when clean up user-visible system relations. Changed by Rick Cattell on 18-Jan-82 18:16:25 Added NonUnique signals, made some ERRORs into SIGNALs. Changed by Rick Cattell on 31-Jan-82 16:06:30 General cleanup of View Level. Removed GetP, SetP. Put all type definitions at beginning. Added more comments. Changed by Rick Cattell on 19-Feb-82 9:26:47 Added DatabaseNotFound. Changed by Rick Cattell on 9-Mar-82 9:24:47 Added MustSetKeyAttributeFirst, documentation for OpenDatabase. Changed by Rick Cattell on May 22, 1982 3:38 pm Added DeclareEntity, DestroySubType, Datum, DatabaseNotOpen, AttLoHiList=>AttributeValueList, PropertyLoHiList=>PropertyValueList, UpdateToDictionaryTuple=>UpdateToDictionaryInfo. Changed by Rick Cattell on July 8, 1982 1:06 pm Added RegisterUpdateProcs and friends. Added GetListP and SetListP, not yet implemented. Changed definition of Transaction to FileIO.Trans to avoid loopholes in client programs using files under same transaction. Changed by Rick Cattell on July 16, 1982 5:58 pm: Recompiled for new Cedar. Added r1to1Prop, DeclareRelship. Changed by Rick Cattell on October 29, 1982 2:31 pm: Too many interface items, according to compiler; removed AttHiLoList, RegisterUpdateProcs. May have to split up interface, or consolidate signals. Changed by Rick Cattell on December 2, 1982 2:34 pm: conversion to new Model level. Changed by Rick Cattell on December 18, 1982 12:38 pm: new segments, etc. Changed by Rick Cattell on January 13, 1983 11:52 am: GetName => NameOf, added FetchEntity, and various other changes, all suggested by Jim Donahue.

Changed by Rick Cattell on March 16, 1983 4:06 pm: Added IsSystemEntity. Changed link argument of DeclareAttribute to allow other possibilities: Colocated, Remote. (These are not currently implemented.) Put in NameToEntity and EntityToName for now, may remove them later if implement Remote link.

Changed by Cattell on June 6, 1983 2:50 pm: Added GetSegmentInfo, changed TransactionOf to INLINE. Added Failure signal and removed Fatal signal. Changed by Cattell on July 18, 1983 12:12 pm: Changed TransactionOf back to non-inline, inlines are such a pain. Added readOnly argument returned by GetSegmentInfo. Added more ErrorCodes to DBEnvironment. Added searchSegment argument to RelationSubset. Added tentative versions of AuxIndex routines, probably will have to be changed.
