Conjunctive queries without distinguished variables are called boolean conjunctive queries.Conjunctive queries where all variables are distinguished (and no variables are bound) are called equi-join queries, [1] because they are the equivalent, in the relational calculus, of the equi-join queries in the relational algebra (when selecting all columns of the result).
The first is whether a variable-column pair t.a is bound to the column of a relation or a constant, and the second is whether two variable-column pairs are directly or indirectly equated (denoted t.v == s.w). For deriving boundedness we introduce the following reasoning rules: in " v.a = w.b" no variable-column pair is bound,
The natural join can be simulated with Codd's primitives as follows. Assume that c 1,...,c m are the attribute names common to R and S, r 1,...,r n are the attribute names unique to R and s 1,...,s k are the attribute names unique to S. Furthermore, assume that the attribute names x 1,...,x m are neither in R nor in S.
A range query is a common database operation that retrieves all records where some value is between an upper and lower boundary. [1] For example, list all employees with 3 to 5 years' experience. Range queries are unusual because it is not generally known in advance how many entries a range query will return, or if it will return any at all.
SQL includes operators and functions for calculating values on stored values. SQL allows the use of expressions in the select list to project data, as in the following example, which returns a list of books that cost more than 100.00 with an additional sales_tax column containing a sales tax figure calculated at 6% of the price.
Andrew Yao showed [3] that there exists an efficient solution for range queries that involve semigroup operators. He proved that for any constant c, a pre-processing of time and space () allows to answer range queries on lists where f is a semigroup operator in (()) time, where is a certain functional inverse of the Ackermann function.
This is a list of operators in the C and C++ programming languages.. All listed operators are in C++ and lacking indication otherwise, in C as well. Some tables include a "In C" column that indicates whether an operator is also in C. Note that C does not support operator overloading.
In computer programming, bounds checking is any method of detecting whether a variable is within some bounds before it is used. It is usually used to ensure that a number fits into a given type (range checking), or that a variable being used as an array index is within the bounds of the array (index checking).
