Abstract. The problem of low computational efficiency of the relational algebra is investigated. A certain extension of the relational algebra with the help of operations over data sets (the basic construction of DBTG CODASYL propositions) is proposed. The user is given a choice to implement the links between data, depending on the requirements for their processing speed, a slow but flexible option based on symbolic addressing (which is typical for relational databases) or fast but hard on direct pointers (relative addressing), which is typical for DBMS of the pre-relational era.
Keywords: relational approach, relational algebra, DBTG CODASYL proposals, data sets, Dribas selective algebra.
