Structure of Relational Databases
• A relational database consists of a collection of
tables, each of which is assigned a unique name .
• A row in a table represents a relationship among a
set of values.
• a table is a collection of such relationships
• each attribute, there is a set of permitted values,
called the domain of that attribute.
• the attribute branch-name, the domain is the set
of all branch names
• tuple variable t refer to the first tuple of the
relation.
• use the notation t[account-number] to denote the
value of t on the account-number attribute.
• t[account-number] = “A-101,” and t[branch-name] =
“Downtown”.
• the mathematical notation of t ∈ r to denote that
tuple t is in relation r.
• A1, A2, …, An are attributes

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


Example:
Customer_schema = (customer_name,
customer_street, customer_city)

• r(R) is a relation on the relation schema R


Example:
customer (Customer_schema)
Relation Instance

• 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

attributes
(or columns)
customer_name
customer_street
customer_city

Additional fundamental operation are
set intersection, natural join, division, and assignment.
• Ensure that unions are taken between compatible
relations.
• For valid union operation require that two
condition hold.
1.The relations r and s must be of the same arity. That is, they
must have the same number of attributes.

2. The
domains of the ith attribute of r and the ith attribute of s
must be the same for all .
• Query:
find the names of all customers who have a
loan at the Perryridge branch.
Answer:

σ (borrower x loan)
branch-name =“Perryridge”
Query:
• selection forcing equality on those attributes
that appear in both relation schemas, and
finally removes duplicate attributes
