(referred to the rifle diagramm example above)

table Parts:
part# partName

------  -------------
100 - BARREL
102 - BARREL NUT
104 - BARREL EXTENSION
108 - BARREL RETAINER
110 - BOLT
112 - EXTRACTOR
114 - EXTRACTOR AXIS
116 - EJECTOR

table AssemblyParts:
assemblyPart# part# partName

-----------------  ----- -------------
1               112    EXTRACTOR ASSEMBLY
1               114    EXTRACTOR ASSEMBLY
1               194    EXTRACTOR ASSEMBLY
1               112    BOLT ASSEMBLY
1               114    BOLT ASSEMBLY
1               194    BOLT ASSEMBLY
1               110    BOLT ASSEMBLY
1               116    BOLT ASSEMBLY

In this particular example we see that

{112,114,194} <= {112,114,194,110,116}

in other words, BOLT ASSEMBLY includes EXTRACTOR ASSEMBLY. Received on Thu Nov 23 2006 - 02:50:19 CET
