non-procedural

Another variation replaces the parse table by pattern-matching rules in non-procedural languages such as Prolog.

A Hartmann pipe is a non-procedural representation of a solution of a data processing problem as a dataflow.

IBM developed SQL, a non-procedural data definition language, twenty years ago.

The £1.2m a year open systems software developer believes that Seachange 4 builds on past developments and provides the optimum balance between procedural and non-procedural languages.

Nine of fifteen members, including all five permanent members, must concur in order for the UNSC to act on a non-procedural measure.

When asked, "How could you possibly have done the first interactive graphics program, the first non-procedural programming language, the first object oriented software system, all in one year?"

Parallelizing row-by-row processing is much more complex than serial processing, which is another reason to make use of non-procedural SQL wherever possible.

A non-procedural report generator based on specifying the appearance of the desired report (Report Section in COBOL-66).

"So the gastroenterologists and cardiologists have princely incomes," Dr. Roberts added, "while the non-procedural doctors, those using the trained brain, are typically paid at the same old rates."

It provides a windowed user interface, non-procedural proprietary language, procedural language, reporting and data management facilities, a developer's workbench and a syntax-free reporting front end.

From the foundation of the League of Nations in 1920, each member of the League Council, whether permanent or non-permanent, had a veto on any non-procedural issue.

Analytica includes a computer language, which is notable in being declarative (non-procedural) for referential transparency, supporting array abstraction, and providing automatic dependency maintenance for efficient sequencing of computation.

IBM developed SQL, a non-procedural data definition language, and launched it with the original SQL/DS under DOS/VSE back in 1980.

Though used earlier in papers and discussions, the term 4GL was first used formally by James Martin in his 1982 book Applications Development Without Programmers to refer to non-procedural, high-level specification languages.

The UN Charter specifies (in Article 27) that a draft resolution on non-procedural matters is adopted if nine or more of the fifteen Council members vote for the resolution, and if it is not vetoed by any of the five permanent members.

This does not mean that each player will generate a random universe to explore on their own, but rather that each player's client will generate a universe identical to everyone else's, creating an effect similar to the non-procedural design of most standard MMOGs.

SAS DATA steps are written in a 3rd-generation procedural language very similar to PL/I; SAS PROCS, especially PROC SQL, are non-procedural and therefore better fit the definition of a 4GL.

Recently, with the availability of massive computing power, there has been a resurgence of mutation analysis within the computer science community, and work has been done to define methods of applying mutation testing to object oriented programming languages and non-procedural languages such as XML, SMV, and finite state machines.
