Machiavelli is a polymorphically typed programming language in the spirit of ML, but supports an extended method of type inferencing that makes its polymorphism more general and appropriate for database applications. In particular, a function that selects a field f of a records is polymorphic in the sense that it can be applied to any record which contains a field f with the appropriate type. When combined with a set data type and database operations including join and projection, this provides

... a natural medium for relational database programming. Moreover, by implementing database objects as reference types and generating the appropriate views -sets of structures with "identity" -we can achieve a degree of static type checking for object-oriented databases.
