Abstract

Record polymorphism plays an essential role in developing a static type system for labeled record structures such as relational databases. Moreover, compilation method for record polymorphism serves as the basis for efficiently compiling various advanced features in statically typed polymorphic programming languages. This article overviews the power and applicability of record polymorphism that have been implemented in SML, an extension of Standard ML been developed at RIEC, Tohoku University.
