Ordering of tuples, Database Management System

Assignment Help:

In a relation, tuples are not inserted in any definite order. Ordering of tuples is not defined as a part of a relation definition. Though, records may be structured later according to some attribute value in the storage systems. For instance, records in PERSON table may be structured according to PERSON_ID. Such organisation or data depends on the requirement of the underlying database application. Though, for the purpose of display we may get them displayed in the sorted order of age. The following table is sorted by age. It is also worth states here that relational model does not permit duplicate tuples

PERSON

PERSON_ID      NAME                                 AGE              ADDRESS

Super Keys, Candidate Keys and Primary Keys for the Relations
