| Abstract | This research proposes a functional shell which follows the
framework of Backus' FP sys t ern . An FP sys t ern is founded o n the
use of a fixed set of combining forms call e d functional forms a nd
a set of definition of function to building n ew function from the
existing ones. They u se no variables or substitution rule as in
some functional languages. All the functions in a n FP system are
only one type , that is they 1nap objects into objects, and always
take a single argument.
The proposed functional shell is an attempt to make use of
the FP system in the application based mainly on relational
databases. A set of new functions and functional forms are
introduced to increase the expressive power. Some examples are
given to express its u sag e. A partial implementation is made to
ascertain the feasibility of the proposed shell . |
