Tuple and Domain
Relational Calculus
Tuple Relational Calculus and Domain Relational Calculus are two
powerful query languages used to interact with relational
databases. These formal logical frameworks provide flexibility and
expressiveness in retrieving and manipulating data.

1 Set Operations
Tuple Relational Calculus can perform set operations such as
union, intersection, and difference on relations.

2 Aggregation
It supports aggregate functions like COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN,
and MAX to summarize data.

3 Nested Queries
Complex queries can be expressed using nested subqueries,
enabling powerful data manipulation capabilities.
