Lecture 1.2.5 - Relational Model (RM)

This document contains information about a Database Management Systems course, including its objectives, outcomes, syllabus, and references. The course aims to help students understand database concepts and design databases for applications, implement SQL statements, and understand transaction processing and database recovery. One of the course outcomes is for students to be able to design databases using the relational model. The first unit covers database concepts, data models, relational algebra, and relational calculus. It defines keys, relations, and entity integrity and provides an example schema diagram for a university database.

Intro to Relational Model
Example of a Relation
attributes
(or columns)

tuples
(or rows)
Attribute Types
• The set of allowed values for each attribute is
called the domain of the attribute
• Attribute values are (normally) required to be
atomic; that is, indivisible
• The special value null is a member of every
domain. Indicated that the value is “unknown”
• The null value causes complications in the
definition of many operations
Relation Schema and Instance
• A1, A2, …, An are attributes

• R = (A1, A2, …, An ) is a relation schema


Example:
instructor = (ID, name, dept_name, salary)
• Formally, given sets D1, D2, …. Dn a relation r is a subset
of
D1 x D2 x … x Dn
Thus, a relation is a set of n-tuples (a1, a2, …, an) where

each ai  Di
The current values (relation instance) of a relation are specified by
a table
 An element t of r is a tuple, represented by a row in a table
Relations are Unordered
 Order of tuples is irrelevant (tuples may be stored in an arbitrary order)
 Example: instructor relation with unordered tuples
Keys • Let K  R
• K is a superkey of R if values for K are sufficient to identify
a unique tuple of each possible relation r(R)
• Example: {ID} and {ID,name} are both superkeys of instructor.

• Superkey K is a candidate key if K is minimal


Example: {ID} is a candidate key for Instructor
• One of the candidate keys is selected to be the primary key.
• which one?
• Foreign key constraint: Value in one relation must appear in
another
• Referencing relation
• Referenced relation
• Example – dept_name in instructor is a foreign key from instructor
referencing department
Schema Diagram for University Database
Relational Query Languages
• Procedural vs .non-procedural, or declarative
• “Pure” languages:
• Relational algebra
• Tuple relational calculus
• Domain relational calculus
• The above 3 pure languages are equivalent in
computing power
• We will concentrate in this chapter on relational
algebra
• Not turning-machine equivalent
• consists of 6 basic operations
Notes about Relational Languages
• Each Query input is a table (or set of tables)
• Each query output is a table.
• All data in the output table appears in one of the
input tables
• Relational Algebra is not Turning complete
• Can we compute:
• SUM
• AVG
• MAX
• MIN
