The Associative Model
of Data is a new database architecture conceived
as an alternative to the Relational
Model of Data, the software industry's standard architecture
for database management systems.
The Associative
Model embodies a radically different approach, but
is equally powerful and expressive.
In addition, it overcomes some significant
limitations of the Relational Model.
Lazysoft's Sentences
database management system is the first implementation of
the Associative Model.

When the Relational Model was introduced
in 1970, a large application might have been 50 tables and
200 programs.
Today's enterprise applications often
comprise tens of thousands of tables and correspondingly
vast numbers of programs.
The scale of modern applications
has now outstripped their developers' ability to readily comprehend
them.
This is why modern database applications
are so costly to build and maintain.
The Associative Model is a response to
this vast increase in complexity.
