Set Difference

If R1 and R2 are two union compatible relations or relations then result of R3 =R1- R2 is the relation that have only those tuples that are in R1 but not in R2.

Incase, R3 will have tuples such that R3 = {t | R1 ∋ t ∧ t∉R2}.

 

Example:

 

R1

 

X

Y

A1

B1

A7

B7

A2

B2

A4

B4

 

 

 

  R2  

A

B

A1

B1

A2

B2

A3

B3

A4

B4

R1-R2 =

A

B

A3

B3

 

R2-R1=

 

 

 

R2-R1=

A

B

A7

B7

 

 

 

Note: -1) Difference operation is not commutative, i.e.,

 R1 - R2 ≠ R2 - R1

2) Difference operation is not associative, i. e.,

R1 - (R2 - R3) ≠ (R1 - R2) - R3
