Statements

    Relate

    Unrelate

Overview

When an object is related to one or more other objects through a relationship, the relationship becomes navigable with a Traverse statement.

Relate Statement

    Relate

        Account : Owned_by : Customer

The Relate statement implements a defined relationship by linking one object to another.

No duplicate relationships are allowed.  This means that it is an error if an object is already related to another and an attempt is made to relate them again.  This error may be detected at run-time.

Unrelate Statement

    Unrelate

        Account : Owned_by : Customer

This statement breaks the relationship link between two objects.

Two objects must be related before they can be unrelated.  This error may be detected at run-time.
