Cartesian product, Database Management System

Assignment Help:

If R1 and R2 are two relations or functions, then the result of R3 = R1 × R2 is the combination of tuples that are in R1 and R2. The product is associative and commutative.

Degree (R3) =Degree of (R1) + Degree (R2).

In case, R3 will have tuples such that R3 = {t1 || t2 | R1 ∋ t1  ∧ R2 ∋ t2}.

Example:

R2

A

B

A1

B1

A2

B2

A3

B3

A4

B4
