Do we have a MaterialUniverse

record on a titanium alloy (no

aluminum), that is acceptable for

use in salt water, with tensile strength

over 1150 MPa / 170 ksi?

Search on linked tables

▪ If you search in a table that has:

— links to another table in the same database

OR

— links to another database

— and a profile containing both databases

▪ …you can search on attributes in linked tables

Reference

“Which records in Table A

are linked to a record in

Table B whose density is

less than…”

Search on linked tables

▪ Why search on linked tables?

— Example: Use MaterialUniverse as a fallback

• Reference data (e.g. MMPDS) can have holes

• MaterialUniverse is complete and has other useful attributes, e.g. price

→ search for MMPDS records via attributes in linked MaterialUniverse records


“Which records in MMPDS

are linked to a record in

MaterialUniverse whose

density is less than…”
