Details for category display question
code at https://github.com/rebrinktexas/postit-solution.git

Your help is appreciated.

There are base relations, with a physical instantiation of the tuples, and view relations, with a more ephemeral instantiation of tuples.
The Relational Model was a significant change from the hierarchical and network database designs previously popular. The relational model emphasizes the durability of the relationship between tables even though the physical implementation might vary with index and file storage methods. Interestingly, the most current trend in No-SQL databases releases the relational constraints and returns to less flexible and higher performing database structures.
