This is similar to relational algebra & relational databases.
In relational algebra a "relation" is what most people know as a "table".
"relation" is maybe a good name in the realm of relational algebra, but a bad name in the realm of users of relational databases.
In this case "pass-by-value" and "pass-by-reference" are good names in the realm of compiler theory ("I'm a compiler guy at heart") but very, very bad names in the context of discussing parameter passing in java & objects.
- danharaj 8y agoA relation can't have multiple identical rows, but a table in most databases can, of course no primary key works for such a set of data and you can embed such a table into another table which has an underlying relation. Sorry, i agree with your point but I felt like being pedantic :3
