The Relational Model

Relations: Data stored in tables.


Attributes: Fixed number of columns.
Tuples: Dynamic number of rows.
Grade: Number of attributes.
Cardinality: Number of tuples.

Relational Schema
 Representation of a relation.
 Name of the relation and the attributes
appearing in it.

Example:
𝐸𝑀𝑃 (𝐸𝑀𝑃𝑁𝑈𝑀, 𝑁𝐴𝑀𝐸, 𝐴𝐺𝐸, 𝐷𝐸𝑃𝑇𝑁𝑈𝑀)

12/23/2020 G. M. Shahariar Shibli | CSE, AUST 5


KEYS
Subset of the attributes whose values are unique.

Example:

𝐸𝑀𝑃 (𝐸𝑀𝑃𝑁𝑈𝑀, 𝑁𝐴𝑀𝐸, 𝐴𝐺𝐸, 𝐷𝐸𝑃𝑇𝑁𝑈𝑀)

Relational Algebra
A collection of operations.
Takes relation(s) as input.
Produces one relation as result.
Two types –
i. Unary: 1 input, 1 result
ii. Binary: 2 inputs, 1 result
