In database theory a relation is the formal description of a table,
where every column is an attribute of that relation. The relational
algebra is based on that.
From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_model>:
| "Relation" is a mathematical term for "table", and thus "relational"
| roughly means "based on tables". It does not refer to the links or
| "keys" between tables, contrary to popular belief.
