N2 - The maintenance of large-scale mathematical programming models has long been recognized to involve a substantial task of data, management. This paper aims to elucidate some of the principles of database construction for large-scale mathematical programming, by use of a linear programming example that incorporates aspects of production and network models. Two likely algebraic formulations are described, and are shown to correspond to relational and hierarchical database schemes that have contrasting strengths and weaknesses.
