Abstract
The design of the POSTGRES data model is described.
The data model is a relational model that has been extended with
abstract data types including user-defined operators and procedures,
relation attributes of type procedure, and attribute and procedure
inheritance. These mechanism can be used to simulate a wide variety
of semantic and object-oriented data modeling constructs including
aggregation and generalization, complex objects with shared subobjects,
and attributes that reference tuples in other relations.
