Techniques for Manipulating Relational Data Docsity.com Definition Terms • DDL (data definition language) - of a relational system is used to define the database’s attributes, tables, relationships, and indexes. • DML (data manipulation language) – is used to extract, insert, and modify the information content of the database. Docsity.com What does relational algebra operators do? • Reduce the number of tuples in a set by selecting those that satisfy some criteria (selection operators). • Reduce the size of each tuple in a set by eliminating specific attributes (projection operators). • Manipulate two similar sets of tuples by combining or comparing (set operators). • Increase the size of each tuple by adding attributes (join and product operations).

Docsity.com Explanation of Set Operators • The union of two relations is a relation that contains the set of each tuple that is in at least one of the input relations. • The intersection of two relations is the set of all tuples that occur in both input relations. • The difference between two relations is the set of all tuples that are in the first relation but not in the second.
