SQLf
SQLf is a SQL extended with Fuzzy set, fuzzy set theory application for expressing flexible (Fuzzy logic, fuzzy) queries to traditional (or ″Regular″) Relational Databases. Among the known extensions proposed to SQL, at the present time, this is the most complete, because it allows the use of diverse fuzzy elements in all the constructions of the language SQL. SQLf is the only known proposal of flexible query system allowing linguistic quantification over set of rows in queries, achieved through the extension of SQL nesting and partitioning structures with fuzzy quantifiers. It also allows the use of quantifiers to qualify the quantity of search criteria satisfied by single rows. Several mechanisms are proposed for query evaluation, the most important being the one based on the derivation principle. This consists in deriving classic queries that produce, given a threshold ''t'', a ''t''-cut of the result of the fuzzy query, so that the additional processing cost of using a fuzzy ...

Fuzzy Logic
Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic in which the truth value of variables may be any real number between 0 and 1. It is employed to handle the concept of partial truth, where the truth value may range between completely true and completely false. By contrast, in Boolean algebra, Boolean logic, the truth values of variables may only be the integer values 0 or 1. The term ''fuzzy logic'' was introduced with the 1965 proposal of fuzzy set theory by mathematician Lotfi A. Zadeh, Lotfi Zadeh. Fuzzy logic had, however, been studied since the 1920s, as Łukasiewicz logic, infinite-valued logic—notably by Jan Łukasiewicz, Łukasiewicz and Alfred Tarski, Tarski. Fuzzy logic is based on the observation that people make decisions based on imprecise and non-numerical information. Fuzzy models or fuzzy sets are mathematical means of representing vagueness and imprecise information (hence the term fuzzy). These models have the capability of recognising, representing, manipulating, in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Relational Algebra
In database theory, relational algebra is a theory that uses algebraic structures for modeling data and defining queries on it with well founded semantics (computer science), semantics. The theory was introduced by Edgar F. Codd. The main application of relational algebra is to provide a theoretical foundation for relational databases, particularly query languages for such databases, chief among which is SQL. Relational databases store tabular data represented as relation (database), relations. Queries over relational databases often likewise return tabular data represented as relations. The main purpose of relational algebra is to define Operator (mathematics), operators that transform one or more input relations to an output relation. Given that these operators accept relations as input and produce relations as output, they can be combined and used to express complex queries that transform multiple input relations (whose data are stored in the database) into a single output rela ...

Projection (relational Algebra)
In relational algebra, a projection is a unary operation written as \Pi_( R ), where R is a relation and a_1,...,a_n are attribute names. Its result is defined as the set obtained when the components of the tuples in R are restricted to the set \ – it ''discards'' (or ''excludes'') the other attributes. In practical terms, if a relation is thought of as a table, then projection can be thought of as picking a subset of its columns. For example, if the attributes are (name, age), then projection of the relation onto attribute list (age) yields – we have discarded the names, and only know what ages are present. Projections may also modify attribute values. For example, if R has attributes a, b, c, where the values of b are numbers, then \Pi_( R ) is like R, but with all b-values halved.http://www.csee.umbc.edu/~pmundur/courses/CMSC661-02/rel-alg.pdf ''See Problem 3.8.B on page 3'' Related concepts The closely related concept in set theory (see: projection (set theory)) di ...

Cartesian Product
In mathematics, specifically set theory, the Cartesian product of two sets and , denoted , is the set of all ordered pairs where is an element of and is an element of . In terms of set-builder notation, that is A\times B = \. A table can be created by taking the Cartesian product of a set of rows and a set of columns. If the Cartesian product is taken, the cells of the table contain ordered pairs of the form . One can similarly define the Cartesian product of sets, also known as an -fold Cartesian product, which can be represented by an -dimensional array, where each element is an -tuple. An ordered pair is a 2-tuple or couple. More generally still, one can define the Cartesian product of an indexed family of sets. The Cartesian product is named after René Descartes, whose formulation of analytic geometry gave rise to the concept, which is further generalized in terms of direct product. Set-theoretic definition A rigorous definition of the Cartesian product re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Selection (relational Algebra)
In relational algebra, a selection (sometimes called a restriction in reference to E.F. Codd's 1970 paper and ''not'', contrary to a popular belief, to avoid confusion with SQL's use of SELECT, since Codd's article predates the existence of SQL) is a unary operation that denotes a subset of a relation. A selection is written as \sigma_( R ) or \sigma_( R ) where: * and are attribute names * is a binary operation in the set \ * is a value constant * is a relation The selection \sigma_( R ) denotes all tuples in for which holds between the and the attribute. The selection \sigma_( R ) denotes all tuples in for which holds between the attribute and the value . For an example, consider the following tables where the first table gives the relation , the second table gives the result of \sigma_( \text ) and the third table gives the result of \sigma_( \text ). More formally the semantics of the selection is defined as follows: : \sigma_( R ) = \ : \sigma_( R ) = \ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Select (SQL)
The SQL SELECT statement returns a result set of rows, from one or more tables. A SELECT statement retrieves zero or more rows from one or more database tables or database views. In most applications, SELECT is the most commonly used data manipulation language (DML) command. As SQL is a declarative programming language, SELECT queries specify a result set, but do not specify how to calculate it. The database translates the query into a " query plan" which may vary between executions, database versions and database software. This functionality is called the " query optimizer" as it is responsible for finding the best possible execution plan for the query, within applicable constraints. The SELECT statement has many optional clauses: * SELECT list is the list of columns or SQL expressions to be returned by the query. This is approximately the relational algebra projection operation. * AS optionally provides an alias for each column or expression in the SELECT list. Thi ...

From (SQL)
The SQL From clause is the source of a rowset to be operated upon in a Data Manipulation Language (DML) statement. From clauses are very common, and will provide the rowset to be exposed through a Select statement, the source of values in an Update statement, and the target rows to be deleted in a Delete statement. FROM is an SQL reserved word in the SQL standard. The FROM clause is used in conjunction with SQL statements, and takes the following general form: ''SQL-DML-Statement'' FROM ''table_name'' WHERE ''predicate'' The From clause can generally be anything that returns a rowset, a table, view, function, or system-provided information like the Information Schema, which is typically running proprietary commands and returning the information in a table form. Examples The following query returns only those rows from table ''mytable'' where the value in column ''mycol'' is greater than 100. SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE mycol > 100 Requirement The From c ...

Data Modeling Languages
Data ( , ) are a collection of discrete or continuous values that convey information, describing the quantity, quality, fact, statistics, other basic units of meaning, or simply sequences of symbols that may be further interpreted formally. A datum is an individual value in a collection of data. Data are usually organized into structures such as tables that provide additional context and meaning, and may themselves be used as data in larger structures. Data may be used as variables in a computational process. Data may represent abstract ideas or concrete measurements. Data are commonly used in scientific research, economics, and virtually every other form of human organizational activity. Examples of data sets include price indices (such as the consumer price index), unemployment rates, literacy rates, and census data. In this context, data represent the raw facts and figures from which useful information can be extracted. Data are collected using techniques such as ...

Query Languages
A query language, also known as data query language or database query language (DQL), is a computer language used to make queries in databases and information systems. In database systems, query languages rely on strict theory to retrieve information. A well known example is the Structured Query Language (SQL). Types Broadly, query languages can be classified according to whether they are ''database'' query languages or ''information retrieval'' query languages. The difference is that a database query language attempts to give factual answers to factual questions, while an information retrieval query language attempts to find documents containing information that is relevant to an area of inquiry. Other types of query languages include: * Full-text. The simplest query language is treating all terms as bag of words that are to be matched with the postings in the inverted index and where subsequently ranking models are applied to retrieve the most relevant documents.
