In relational algebra, a projection is a unary operation written as ,..., (), where is a relation and ,..., are attribute names. Its result is defined as the set obtained when the components of the tuples in are restricted to the set {,...,} – it discards (or excludes) the other attributes.
The relational algebra uses set union, set difference, and Cartesian product from set theory, and adds additional constraints to these operators to create new ones.. For set union and set difference, the two relations involved must be union-compatible—that is, the two relations must have the same set of attributes.

In mathematics, a projection is an idempotent mapping of a set (or other mathematical structure) into a subset (or sub-structure). In this case, idempotent means that projecting twice is the same as projecting once. The restriction to a subspace of a projection is also called a projection, even if the idempotence property is lost. An everyday ...
Projection (mathematics), any of several different types of geometrical mappings Projection (linear algebra), a linear transformation P from a vector space to itself such that P 2 = P; Projection (set theory), one of two closely related types of functions or operations in set theory; Projection (measure theory), use of a projection map in ...
Another form of composition of relations, which applies to general -place relations for , is the join operation of relational algebra. The usual composition of two binary relations as defined here can be obtained by taking their join, leading to a ternary relation, followed by a projection that removes the middle component.
Codd-tables algebra is based on the usual Codd's single NULL values. The table T above is an example of Codd-table. Codd-table algebra supports projection and positive selections only. It is also demonstrated in [IL84 that it is not possible to correctly extend more relational operators over Codd-Tables.
