Projection Must Maintain a Mathematical Set (No Duplicate Elements)

14 Slide 6a-14 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Selection with Projection Example

15 Slide 6a-15 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Renaming The RENAME operator gives a new schema to a relation. R1 := RENAME R1(A1,…,An) (R2) makes R1 be a relation with attributes A1,…,An and the same tuples as R2. Simplified notation: R1(A1,…,An) := R2. Other use (  ) notation R2  R1(A1,…,An)

16 Slide 6a-16 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 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)

17 Slide 6a-17 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 General Form R  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

18 Slide 6a-18 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 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)

19 Slide 6a-19 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 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

20 Slide 6a-20 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 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

21 Slide 6a-21 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Union, Difference, Intersection Examples What are these Other Three Result Tables?

22 Slide 6a-22 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Given Relations R of Degree k 1 and Cardinality card 1 S of Degree k 2 and Cardinality card 2 Cartesian Product R  S is a Relation of Degree (k 1 + k 2 ) and Consists of Tuples of Degree (k 1 + k 2 ) where each Tuple is a Concatenation of one Tuple of R with one Tuple of S Cardinality of the Result of the Cartesian Product R  S is card 1 * card 2 What is One Problem with Cartesian Product w.r.t. the Result Set? Cartesian Product

23 Slide 6a-23 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Cartesian Product: Example ABC a1 a2 a3 b1 b1 b4 c3 c5 c7 F E f1 f5 e1 e2 ABCE a1 a2 a3 b1 b4 c3 c5 c7 e1 e2 e1 e2 e1 e2 RS R S F f1 f5 f1 f5 f1 f5 

24 Slide 6a-24 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Given R(A1, …,An) and S(B1,…,Bm), the result of a Cartesian product R  S is a relation of schema R’(A1, …, An, B1, …, Bm). Example “Get a list containing (S#, C#) for all students who live in Storrs but are not registered for the database course” Cartesian Product (  S# (  city=‘Storrs’ ( STUDENT ))    C# (  CNAME=‘Database’ ( COURSE )))  –  S#, C# ( S-C )

40 Slide 6a-40 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 A Set of Relational Algebra Operations Is Called a Complete Set, If and Only If Any Relational Algebra Operator in the Set Cannot be Derived in Terms of a Sequence of Others in Set Any Relational Algebra Operator Not in the Set Can Be Derived in Terms of a Sequence of Only the Operators in the Set All Relational Algebra Operations

41 Slide 6a-41 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Important Concepts: ¶ The Set of Algebra Operations { , , , –,  } is a Complete Set of Relational Algebra Operations · Any Query Language Equivalent to These Five Operations is Called Relationally Complete All Relational Algebra Operations

42 Slide 6a-42 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Additional Relational Operations Aggregate Functions and Grouping A type of request that cannot be expressed in the basic relational algebra is to specify mathematical aggregate functions on collections of values from the database. Examples of such functions include retrieving the average or total salary of all employees or the total number of employee tuples. These functions are used in simple statistical queries that summarize information from the database tuples. Common functions applied to collections of numeric values include SUM, AVERAGE, MAXIMUM, and MINIMUM. The COUNT function is used for counting tuples or values.

43 Slide 6a-43 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Additional Relational Operations (cont.)

44 Slide 6a-44 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Use of the Functional operator ℱ ℱ MAX Salary (Employee) retrieves the maximum salary value from the Employee relation ℱ MIN Salary (Employee) retrieves the minimum Salary value from the Employee relation ℱ SUM Salary (Employee) retrieves the sum of the Salary from the Employee relation DNO ℱ COUNT SSN, AVERAGE Salary (Employee) groups employees by DNO (department number) and computes the count of employees and average salary per department.[ Note: count just counts the number of rows, without removing duplicates] Additional Relational Operations (cont.)

45 Slide 6a-45 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Additional Relational Operations (cont.) Recursive Closure Operations Another type of operation that, in general, cannot be specified in the basic original relational algebra is recursive closure. This operation is applied to a recursive relationship. Example: retrieve all SUPERVISEES of an EMPLOYEE e at all levels—that is, all EMPLOYEE e’ directly supervised by e; all employees e’’ directly supervised by each employee e’; all employees e’’’ directly supervised by each employee e’’; and so on. Although it is possible to retrieve employees at each level and then take their union, we cannot, in general, specify a query such as “retrieve the supervisees of ‘James Borg’ at all levels” without utilizing a looping mechanism. The SQL3 standard includes syntax for recursive closure.

46 Slide 6a-46 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Additional Relational Operations (cont.)

47 Slide 6a-47 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Additional Relational Operations (cont.) The OUTER JOIN Operation In NATURAL JOIN tuples without a matching (or related) tuple are eliminated from the join result. Tuples with null in the join attributes are also eliminated. This amounts to loss of information. A set of operations, called outer joins, can be used when we want to keep all the tuples in R, or all those in S, or all those in both relations in the result of the join, regardless of whether or not they have matching tuples in the other relation. The left outer join operation keeps every tuple in the first or left relation R in R S; if no matching tuple is found in S, then the attributes of S in the join result are filled or “padded” with null values. A similar operation, right outer join, keeps every tuple in the second or right relation S in the result of R S. A third operation, full outer join, denoted by keeps all tuples in both the left and the right relations when no matching tuples are found, padding them with null values as needed.

48 Slide 6a-48 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Additional Relational Operations (cont.) TEMP  (EMPLOYEE SSN=MGRSSN DEPARTMENT RESULT   FNAME, MINIT, LNAME, DNAME (TEMP)

49 Slide 6a-49 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Additional Relational Operations (cont.) OUTER UNION Operations The outer union operation was developed to take the union of tuples from two relations if the relations are not union compatible. This operation will take the union of tuples in two relations R(X, Y) and S(X, Z) that are partially compatible, meaning that only some of their attributes, say X, are union compatible. The attributes that are union compatible are represented only once in the result, and those attributes that are not union compatible from either relation are also kept in the result relation T(X, Y, Z).

50 Slide 6a-50 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Additional Relational Operations (cont.) OUTER UNION Operations Example: An outer union can be applied to two relations whose schemas are STUDENT(Name, SSN, Department, Advisor) and INSTRUCTOR(Name, SSN, Department, Rank). Tuples from the two relations are matched based on having the same combination of values of the shared attributes—Name, SSN, Department. If a student is also an instructor, both Advisor and Rank will have a value; otherwise, one of these two attributes will be null. The result relation STUDENT_OR_INSTRUCTOR will have the following attributes: STUDENT_OR_INSTRUCTOR (Name, SSN, Department, Advisor, Rank)

51 Slide 6a-51 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Q1: Retrieve the name and address of all employees who work for the ‘Research’ department. RESEARCH_DEPT   DNAME=’Research’ (DEPARTMENT) RESEARCH_EMPS  (RESEARCH_DEPT DNUMBER= DNO EMPLOYEE) RESULT   FNAME, LNAME, ADDRESS (RESEARCH_EMPS) This query could be specified in other ways; for example, the order of the JOIN and SELECT could be reversed, or the JOIN could be replaced by a NATURAL JOIN after renaming one of the join attributes.

52 Slide 6a-52 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Q2: Retrieve the names of employees who have no dependents. ALL_EMPS   SSN (EMPLOYEE) EMPS_WITH_DEPS ( SSN )   ESSN ( DEPENDENT ) EMPS_WITHOUT_DEPS  (ALL_EMPS - EMPS_WITH_DEPS) RESULT   LNAME, FNAME (EMPS_WITHOUT_DEPS * EMPLOYEE)

53 Slide 6a-53 Elmasri and Navathe, Fundamentals of Database Systems, Fourth Edition Revised by IB & SAM, Fasilkom UI, 2005 Q3: List the name of all employees with two or more dependents T1 (SSN, NO_OF_DEPT)  ESSN ℱ COUNT DEPENDENT_NAME (DEPENDENT) T2   NO_OF_DEPS >= 2 (T1) RESULT   LNAME, FNAME (T1 * EMPLOYEE)
