The result of an SQL statement's execution is a table of rows that are related in that they all satisfy the conditions of the SQL statement. Rows of two tables may be releated to each other by a common key. An SQL where clause expresses a relation between two table columns. A calculated value is related to the operand fields through an expression. What's not relational? .
