Attributes and tuple, Database Management System

Assignment Help:

Before we talk about the relational model in more detail, let us first define some very basic terms used in this model.

Tuple

Every row in a table shows a record and is called a tuple. A table containing 'n' attributes in a record is called n-tuple.

Attribute

 The name of every column in a table is used to interpret its meaning and is known as an attribute. Every table is called a relation.

For instance, Figure shows a relation PERSON. The columns NAME, PERSON_ID, AGE and ADDRESS are the attributes of PERSON and every row in the table represents a separate tuple (record).

 

Relation Name:  PERSON

PERSON_ID

NAME

AGE

ADDRESS

TELEPHONE
