S4:E5 - "Sets, sets, everywhere"

Sets are everywhere! If you've worked with relational databases, made a venn diagram, maybe touched some relational algebra, then you've already worked with sets. We talk about why they're so common, how well they perform (time for some Big O Notation!), and how they're actually implemented. Based on Vaidehi Joshi's blog post, "Set Theory: the Method To Database Madness".
