Examples of Queries in Relational Algebra: Procedural Form


Retrieve the name and address of all employees who work for the Research department. RESEARCH_DEPT DNAME=Research (DEPARTMENT) RESEARCH_EMPS (RESEARCH_DEPT DNUMBER= DNOEMPLOYEEEMPLOYEE) RESULT FNAME, LNAME, ADDRESS (RESEARCH_EMPS)

Retrieve the names of employees who have no dependents. ALL_EMPS SSN(EMPLOYEE) EMPS_WITH_DEPS(SSN) ESSN(DEPENDENT) EMPS_WITHOUT_DEPS (ALL_EMPS - EMPS_WITH_DEPS) RESULT LNAME, FNAME (EMPS_WITHOUT_DEPS * EMPLOYEE)

Examples of Queries in Relational Algebra Single expressions


Retrieve the name and address of all employees who work for the Research department. Fname, Lname, Address ( Dname= Research (DEPARTMENT Dnumber=Dno(EMPLOYEE))

Retrieve the names of employees who have no dependents. Lname, Fname(( Ssn (EMPLOYEE) Ssn ( Essn (DEPENDENT))) EMPLOYEE)

Sample Relational Algebra expressions


For every project located in Colombo list the project number, the controlling department number and the dept managers last name, address and bdate. Colombo_Projs <- Plocation= Colombo (Project) Contr_Dept<-(Colombo_Projs Dnum=Dnumber Department)

Proj_Dept_Mgr <-(Contr_Dept MgrId=Empid Employee) Result<- Pnumber,Dnum,Lanme,Address,Bdate(Proj_Dept_Mgr)

Find the names of employees who work on all the projects controlled by dept. no. 5 Dept5_Projs(Pno)<- Pnumber( Dnum=5(Project))
