Definition A? R(.) is a key if FD A
?R
Definition A? R(.) is a candidate key if FD
A?R and not proper subset of A is a key.

Relational Algebra

Basic operations
Selection ( ) Selects a subset of rows
from relation.
Projection ( ) Deletes unwanted columns
from relation.
Cross-product ( ) Allows us to combine two
relations.
Set-difference ( ) Tuples in reln. 1, but
not in reln. 2.
Union ( ) Tuples in reln. 1 and in reln. 2.
Additional operations
Intersection, join, division, renaming Not
essential, but (very!) useful.
Since each operation returns a relation,
operations can be composed! (Algebra is closed.)

6
Projection

Deletes attributes that are not in projection
list.
Schema of result contains exactly the fields in
the projection list, with the same names that
they had in the (only) input relation.
Projection operator has to eliminate duplicates!
(Why??, what are the consequences?)
Note real systems typically dont do duplicate
elimination unless the user explicitly asks for
it.

7
Selection

Selects rows that satisfy selection condition.
Schema of result identical to schema of (only)
input relation.
Result relation can be the input for another
relational algebra operation! (Operator
composition.)

8
Union, Intersection, Set-Difference

All of these operations take two input relations,
which must be union-compatible
Same number of fields.
Corresponding fields have the same type.
What is the schema of result?

9
Cross-Product

Each row of S1 is paired with each row of R1.
Result schema has one field per field of S1 and
R1, with field names inherited if possible.
Conflict Both S1 and R1 have a field called sid.

Renaming operator

10
Joins

Condition Join
Result schema same as that of cross-product.
Fewer tuples than cross-product. Filters tuples
not satisfying the join condition.
Sometimes called a theta-join.

11
Joins

Equi-Join A special case of condition join
where the condition c contains only equalities.
Result schema similar to cross-product, but only
one copy of fields for which equality is
specified.
Natural Join Equijoin on all common fields.

12
Division

Not supported as a primitive operator, but useful
for expressing queries like

Find sailors who
have reserved all boats.
Precondition in A/B, the attributes in B must be
included in the schema for A. Also, the result
has attributes A-B.
SALES(supId, prodId)
PRODUCTS(prodId)
Relations SALES and PRODUCTS must be built using
projections.
SALES/PRODUCTS the ids of the suppliers
supplying ALL products.

13
Examples of Division A/B
B1
B2
B3
A/B1
A/B2
A/B3
A
14
Expressing A/B Using Basic Operators

Division is not essential op just a useful
shorthand.
(Also true of joins, but joins are so common that
systems implement joins specially. Division is
NOT implemented in SQL).
Idea For SALES/PRODUCTS, compute all products
such that there exists at least one supplier not
supplying it.
x value is disqualified if by attaching y value
from B, we obtain an xy tuple that is not in A.

The answer is ?sid(Sales) - A

EQUALITY JOIN, NATURAL JOIN, JOIN, SEMI-JOIN

Equality join connects tuples from two relations
that match on certain attributes. The specified
joining columns are kept in the resulting
relation.
?name(?dnametoy(Emp Dept)))
Natural join connects tuples from two relations
that match on the specified common attributes
?name(?dnametoy(Emp Dept)))
How is an equality join between Emp and Dept
using dno different than a natural join between
Emp and Dept using dno?
Equality join SS, name, age, salary, Emp.dno,
Dept.dno,
Natural join SS, name, age, salary, dno,
dname,
Join is similar to equality join using different
comparison operators
A S op , ?, , , lt, gt

EQUALITY JOIN, NATURAL JOIN, JOIN, SEMI-JOIN
(Cont)

Example retrieve the name of employees who earn
more than Joe
?name(Emp (salgtx.sal)?nameJoe(? x(Emp)))
Semi-Join selects the columns of one relation
that joins with another. It is equivalent to a
join followed by a projection
Emp (dno)Dept ?SS, name, age, salary,
dno(Emp Dept)

JOIN OPERATORS

Condition Joins
- Defined as a cross-product followed by a
selection
R ?c S sc(R ? S)
(? is called the bow-tie)
where c is the condition.
- Example
Given the sample relational instances S1 and R1

The condition join S ?S1.sidltR1.sid R1 yields

Equijoin
Special case of the condition join where the join
condition consists solely of equalities between
two fields in R and S connected by the logical
AND operator (?).
Example Given the two sample relational
instances S1 and R1

The operator S1 R.sidSsid R1 yields

SQL

SQL (Structured Query Language) is the standard
language for commercial DBMSs
SEQUEL (Structured English QUEry Language)was
originally defined by IBM for System R
standardization of SQL began in the 80s
current standard is SQL-99
SQL is more than a query language it includes a
DDL, DML and administration commands
SQL is an example of a transform-oriented
language.
A language designed to use relations to transform
inputs into required outputs.

Basic structure of an SQL query

General Structure
I
SELECT ...... FROM ...... WHERE ......
SELECT ALL / DISTINCT expr1 AS col1, expr2
AS col2 FROM tablename WHERE condition
34
General Structure
I
SELECT ALL / DISTINCT expr1 AS col1, expr2
AS col2 FROM tablename WHERE condition

The query will select rows from the source
tablename and output the result in table form.

Expressions expr1, expr2 can be
(1) a column, or
(2) an expression of functions and fields.

And col1, col2 are their corresponding column
names in the output table.

3.2 SQL
SELECT a1, ..., an
FROM R1, R2, , Rm
WHERE Con1, ,Conk
This means
p a1, ..., an( s Con1( (s Conk ( R1 R2
Rm))))

Example
Find the SSN and tax for each person.
SELECT SSN, Tax
FROM Taxrecord, Taxtable
WHERE wages interest capital_gain
income

AS keyword used to rename relations
Two SQL expressions can be combined by
INTERSECT
UNION
MINUS set difference

Example
Find the names of the streets that intersect.
SELECT S.NAME, T.NAME
FROM Streets AS S, Streets AS T
WHERE S.X T.X and
S.Y T.Y

Example Assume we have the relations
Broadcast ( Radio, X , Y )
Town ( Name, X, Y )
Find the parts of Lincoln, NE that can
be reached by at least one Radio station.
(SELECT X, Y
FROM Town
WHERE Name Lincoln)
INTERSECT
(SELECT X, Y
FROM Broadcast)

Example
Find the SSN and tax for each person.
pSSN,Tax swagesinterestcapital_gain
income Taxrecord Taxtable
Example
Find the area of Lincoln reached by a radio
station.
( pX,Y ( sNameLincoln Town ) ) ? (
pX,Y Broadcast )

Another way of connecting SQL expressions
is using the IN keyword.
SELECT ..
FROM ..
WHERE a IN ( SELECT b
FROM ..
WHERE .. )

SQL with aggregation
SELECT aggregate_function
FROM .
WHERE
aggregate_function
Max (c1a1 .. cnan)
where ai are attributes
Min (c1a1 .. cnan)
and ci are constants
Sum(a) where a is an
attribute that is
Avg(a) constant in
each constraint tuple
Count(a)

Example
Package(Serial_No, From, Destination, Weight)
Postage (Weight , Fee)
Find the total postage of all packages sent
from Omaha.
SELECT Sum(Fee)
FROM Package, Postage
WHERE Package.Weight Postage.Weight AND
Package.From Omaha

GROUP BY
SELECT a1, , an, aggregate_function
FROM ..
WHERE
GROUP BY a1, ..., ak
Evaluates basic SQL query
Groups the tuples according to different values
of a1,..,ak
Applies the aggregate function to each group
separately
a1, , ak ? a1, , an

Example
Find the total postage sent out from each
city.
SELECT Package.From, Sum(Postage.Fee)
FROM Package, Postage
WHERE Package.Weight Postage.Weight
GROUP BY Package.From

46
General Structure
I
SELECT ALL / DISTINCT expr1 AS col1, expr2
AS col2 FROM tablename WHERE condition

DISTINCT will eliminate duplication in the output
while ALL will keep all duplicated rows.

condition can be
(1) an inequality, or
(2) a string comparison
using logical operators AND, OR, NOT.

I

Before using SQL, open the student file
USE student

eg. 1 List all the student records.
SELECT FROM student

eg. 2 List the names and house code of 1A
students.
SELECT name, hcode, class FROM student
