4. What is the difference between the natural join RS and the theta-join RC S where the condition C is that R.A = S.A for each attribute A appearing in the schemas of both R and S? For example, if the relations are R(A, B, C, D) and S(C, D, E), what is the difference between R S and RR.C-S.C AND R.D=S.D S?

Suppose you are given a relation r(a, b, c). a. Give an example of a situation under which the performance of equality selection queries on attribute a can be greatly affected by how r is clustered. b. Suppose you also had range selection queries on attribute b. Can you cluster r in such a way that the equality selection queries on r.a and the range selection queries on r.b can both be answered efficiently? Explain your answer. c. If clustering as above is not possible, suggest how both types of queries can be executed efficiently by choosing appropriate indices.
Suppose we have the table Employee[id, name, supervisor] This table implements an employee entity type and the relationship "a person has a supervisor", similar to the Company database. Even if we have referential integrity it is possible for us to have corrupt data. Consider two cases: • we could have data where an employee is their own supervisor (last row below), or • where the supervisor of A is B but B shows its supervisor to be A (first two rows belov. id supervisor A B C D name John Joyce Jim Jennifer Peter null Write an SQL statement to list any rows with the type of bad data as outlined in the above.
The division operator of relational algebra, “÷”, is defined as follows. Let r(R)and s(S) be relations, and let S ⊆ R; that is, every attribute of schema S isalso in schema R. Given a tuple t, let t[S] denote the projection of tuple t onthe attributes in S. Then r ÷ s is a relation on schema R − S (that is, on theschema containing all attributes of schema R that are not in schema S). A tuplet is in r ÷ s if and only if both of two conditions hold:• t is in ΠR−S(r)• For every tuple ts in s, there is a tuple tr in r satisfying both of the following:a. tr[S] = ts[S]b. tr[R − S] = tGiven the above definition:a. Write a relational algebra expression using the division operator to findthe IDs of all students who have taken all Comp. Sci. courses. (Hint:project takes to just ID and course id, and generate the set of all Comp.Sci. course ids using a select expression, before doing the division.)b. Show how to write the above query in relational algebra, without usingdivision. (By doing so, you…

Consider the following scenario: two relationsr and s have histograms on attributes r.A and s.A, respectively, but their ranges are different. Please provide an example of how to utilise histograms to determine the size of r s. Tip: Consider dividing the ranges of each histogram even more.

Consider the following functional dependencies that hold on R(ABCDEF): AB-> CD, E -> C, B -> EF Is R in 3NF? Explain your answer in detail and decompose the relation, as necessary, into a collection of relations that are in 3NF. Make sure you first find all the key(s) of R so that you will be able to tell whether an attribute is prime.
