Complex Data Types Motivation: Permit non-atomic domains (atomic indivisible) Example of non-atomic domain:set of integers,or set of tuples Allows more intuitive modeling for applications with complex data Intuitive definition: allow relations whenever we allow atomic(scalar)values -relations within relations Retains mathematical foundation of relational model Violates first normal form.
