2024-11-05 12:15:26 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <hellwolf> I recalled a talk from "David Spivak: Categorical Databases". I appreciate people's relentless searches of composition, especially from mathematicians (Bartosz Milewski, et. al.) ... but sometimes someone just gotta find a concrete use case that others can understand and apply the insights. |
2024-11-05 12:14:44 +0100 | <ncf> | Inst: as long as you can come up with a notion of homomorphism between instances of different schemas, sure ("there are none" is a valid answer) |
2024-11-05 12:14:40 +0100 | <probie> | Inst: If it's not a normal relational database, then sum types may be easily supported :p. If you want to model it in a relational database and don't want to risk being two variants at once, you can have n columns, each being a nullable foreign key to that variant's table, and a constraint that exactly one of those columns is not null |

2024-11-05 12:10:43 +0100 | <Inst> | as in, can a database table be in one of two different schemas? |
2024-11-05 12:10:31 +0100 | <Inst> | wait, do database tables support sum types? |
2024-11-05 12:10:08 +0100 | tomsmeding | is out of comfort zone |
2024-11-05 12:09:36 +0100 | <kuribas> | An ORM for example. |
2024-11-05 12:08:42 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | how on Earth does an ADT correspond to a database table? :p |
2024-11-05 12:08:28 +0100 | <kuribas> | So I could transform an ADT to a database table, using a functor. |
2024-11-05 12:08:11 +0100 | <kuribas> | I wonder if that works for ADTs too. |
2024-11-05 12:08:04 +0100 | <kuribas> | tomsmeding: I am reading the "databases as categories" article: https://math.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Applied_Mathematics/Seven_Sketches_in_Compositionality%3A_…(Fong_and_Spivak)/03%3A_Databases-_Categories_functors_and_(co)limits/3.03%3A_Functors_natural_transformations_and_databases |
2024-11-05 12:07:59 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | if so, then perhaps the concept of an F-algebra is what you are looking for |

2024-11-05 12:06:53 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | kuribas: are you trying to encapsulate some kind of structure in a function from one ADT to another, more than there is in "any function"? |
2024-11-05 12:06:10 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | an ADT would be one object in that category |
2024-11-05 12:05:58 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | it works because the identity function is a thing at each type (i.e. on each object), and functions compose |
2024-11-05 12:05:35 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | the "standard" example of a category in the context of FP is: objects are types, arrows (morphisms) are functions |
2024-11-05 12:05:35 +0100 | <ncf> | ?? |
2024-11-05 12:05:03 +0100 | <kuribas> | Objects are the types? |
2024-11-05 12:04:53 +0100 | <kuribas> | tomsmeding: Arrows are the products and sums I suppose? |
2024-11-05 12:03:15 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | kuribas: if it's a category, then what are its objects and its arrows? |
