2. Imieliński–Lipski algebra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imieliński–Lipski_algebra

   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.

3. Relational algebra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_algebra

   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.

4. Relation algebra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relation_algebra

   A relation algebra (L, ∧, ∨, −, 0, 1, •, I, ˘) is an algebraic structure equipped with the Boolean operations of conjunction x∧y, disjunction x∨y, and negation x −, the Boolean constants 0 and 1, the relational operations of composition x•y and converse x˘, and the relational constant I, such that these operations and constants satisfy certain equations constituting an ...

5. Composition of relations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_relations

   A small circle () has been used for the infix notation of composition of relations by John M. Howie in his books considering semigroups of relations. [10] However, the small circle is widely used to represent composition of functions g ( f ( x ) ) = ( g ∘ f ) ( x ) {\displaystyle g(f(x))=(g\circ f)(x)} , which reverses the text sequence from ...

6. Relation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   For example, "is a blood relative of" is a symmetric relation, because x is a blood relative of y if and only if y is a blood relative of x. Antisymmetric for all x, y ∈ X, if xRy and yRx then x = y. For example, ≥ is an antisymmetric relation; so is >, but vacuously (the condition in the definition is always false). [11] Asymmetric

7. Selection (relational algebra) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_(relational_algebra)

   Mutation and Selection. In relational algebra, a selection (sometimes called a restriction in reference to E.F. Codd's 1970 paper [1] and not, contrary to a popular belief, to avoid confusion with SQL's use of SELECT, since Codd's article predates the existence of SQL) is a unary operation that denotes a subset of a relation.

8. Codd's theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codd's_theorem

   Codd's theorem states that relational algebra and the domain-independent relational calculus queries, two well-known foundational query languages for the relational model, are precisely equivalent in expressive power. That is, a database query can be formulated in one language if and only if it can be expressed in the other.

9. Finitary relation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finitary_relation

   For example, the relation "x is divisible by y and z" consists of the set of 3-tuples such that when substituted to x, y and z, respectively, make the sentence true. The non-negative integer n that gives the number of "places" in the relation is called the arity , adicity or degree of the relation.
