Direct linkKawash, Jalal – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2004
The Structured Query Language (SQL) forms a substantial component of introductory database courses and is supported by almost every commercial database product. One disadvantage of SQL is that it does not provide a universal quantification construct. Queries that have twisted universal and existential quantifiers can be stunning for students,…
