Overview

Tuples.

With the help of this class, it’s possible to select a few facts from a factbase at a time, which depend on each other. For example, it’s necessary to find a fact where the name is set and then find another fact, where the salary is the salary is the same as in the first found fact. Here is how:

Factbase::Tuples.new(qt, ['(exists name)', '(eq salary, {f0.salary})']).each do |a, b|
  puts a.name
  puts b.salary
end

Here, the {f0.salary} is a special substitution place, which is replaced by the salary of the fact that is found by the previous query. The indexing of queries starts from zero.
