Division operation, Database Management System

Assignment Help:

To do the division operation R1 ÷ R2, R2 should be a correct subset of R1. In the following example R1 have attributes A and B and R2 have only attribute B so R2 is a correct subset of R1. If we perform R1 ÷ R2 than the resultant relation will have those values of A from R1 that are related to all values of B present in R2.

Example

A

B

A1

B1

Let R1

If R2                    R3= R1 ÷ R2                      If R2                       R3= R1 ÷ R2
