Summary

1 The application relates to using an inclusion dependency system for establishing primary key-foreign key relationships in a database, which reduces the number of fetches of data from memory and results in a less computationally intensive and time consuming process. The hearing officer found the invention to be excluded as a computer program as such, so refused the application.
