Maths - Sheaf Example - Database

This is an example for the page about sheaves which is here.

Example - Relational Database

This could be a generalisation of the sheaf concept.

Here C^op is a database schema.

This imposes a structure on the sets which are the database tables.

See simplical databases.

Relational databases link tables by having shared keys.

This gives a structure to the table which must play well with the structure of the schema.

As an example here are some key values.

In this case a mapping from T1 to T2 is injective which corresponds to T2 being a subset of T1.

Relational databases have many to one relationships between tables. For instance part of census data may have

A table with an entry for each person.
A table with an entry for each residence.

There might then be a many to one relationship between these two tables.

More information about relational databases on page here.

In order to implement many to many relationships between tables we need to insert an extra table between them:

Where Are You

This is one of a series of pages about topology, these pages start here.

For other pages, on the site, about topology see:

Sheaves and Category Theory

Computer Code Implementation

I have written some code to implement algebraic topology structures. For an explanation of this code see the page here.
