A general characteristic, however, is that the programming language and the database schema use the same type definitions.

They are used to represent certain type definitions or literal data values, such as a composite structure or associative array.

Because type definitions can contain general Rosetta expressions, the type system is dependent.

These are essentially macros: named groups of elements and attributes that can be reused in many different type definitions.

A complex type definition consists of a set of attribute uses and a content model.

The , which is determined by the type definition, is the "meat" of the artifact.

Policy classes can contain implementation, type definitions and so forth.

Pike requires explicit type definitions for all variables.

Each header file contains one or more function declarations, data type definitions, and macros.

N is given at either type definition or variable declaration (see example below)
