| Sumario: | "Nullology is the study of the empty set. Sets per se crop up all over the place in the relational world; the question is -- and it's a crucial one -- what happens if the set under consideration happens to be empty? For example, a relation contains a set of tuples: what about the possibility of a relation containing no tuples at all? Now, this particular possibiloty is reasonably familiar, because a relation with no tuples behaves much like a file with no records.

And there are many other places in the relational world where the empty set rears its head, several of them both unfamiliar and of fundamental importance."--Resource description page. |
