Question

Give conditions under which the following expressions are equivalent:
A,Bγagg(C)(E1 ⋈ E2) and (Aγagg(C)(E1)) ⋈ E2
where agg denotes any aggregation operation. How can the above conditions
be relaxed if agg is one of min or max?

Expert Solution
Step 1

In the database, relations generated (or created) by two equivalent expressions contain the same (or identical) set of attributes and tuples but the order of the attributes can be different and also produce the same recordset. 

An aggregate function in a database enables the user to perform arithmetic operations on a given set of values and returns only one scalar value.
