Fakultas Ilmu Komputer UI 14 Renaming The RENAME operator gives a new schema to a relation. R1 := RENAME R1(A1,…,A n ) (R2) makes R1 be a relation with attributes A1,…,A n and the same tuples as R2. Simplified notation: R1(A1,…,A n ) := R2. Other use (  ) notation R2  R1(A1,…,A n )

Fakultas Ilmu Komputer UI 15 Sequences of Assignments Create temporary relation names. Renaming can be implied by giving relations a list of attributes. Example: R3 := R1 JOIN C R2 can be written: R4 := R1 * R2 R3 := SELECT C (R4) OR R4  R1 * R2 R3  SELECT C (R4)

Fakultas Ilmu Komputer UI 16 General Form R  SR  S where R, S are Relations Result contains Tuples from both R and S Duplications are Removed The two Operands R, S should be union-compatible Example: “find students registered for course C1 or C3”  s# (  CNO=‘C1’ (S-C))  s# (  CNO=‘C3’ (S-C)) Union

Fakultas Ilmu Komputer UI 17 Union Compatibility Two Relations R 1 (A 1, A 2,..., A n ) and R 2 (B 1, B 2,..., B n ) are said Union-compatible If and Only If They Have The Same Number of Attributes The Domains of Corresponding Attributes are Compatible, i.e., Dom(A i )=dom(B i ) for I=1, 2,..., N Names Do Not Have to be Same! For Relational Union and Difference Operations, the Operand Relations Must Be Union Compatible The Resulting Relation for Relational Set Operations Has the Same Attribute Names as the First Operand Relation R 1 (by Convention)

Fakultas Ilmu Komputer UI 18 General Form R – S where R and S are Relations Result Contains all tuples that are in R, but not in S. R – S <> S – R Again, there Must be Compatibility Example “Find the students who registered course C1 but not C3”   s# (  CNO=‘C1’ (S-C)) –   s# (  CNO=‘C3’ (S-C)) Set Difference

Fakultas Ilmu Komputer UI 19 General Form R  S where R and S are Relations Result Contains all Tuples that are in R and S. R  S = R – ( R – S ) Again, there Must be Compatibility Example “find the students who registered for both C1 and C3”   s# (  CNO=‘C1’ (S-C))    s# (  CNO=‘C3’ (S-C)) Set Intersection
