Is there a specific term to describe a relation with a cardinality of one?

I'm thinking particularly of RDBMS "special" one-row tables, for example, DUAL (Oracle), SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1 (DB2, Derby) and RDB$DATABASE (Interbase, Firebird).

    Interesting question, I've come across these in some vendor databases, usually "settings" tables

Singleton Table. In relational terms it is a relation with primary key ∅ (the empty set).

    +1 A colleague suggested this moniker, too. (He also suggested "highlander table," which has a certain charm.)

    That's a singleton table, too.
