Relational Algebra Mcqs

Our collections of Multiple choice questions and answers focuses on study of ” Relational Algebra “. These questions are chosen from a collection of most authoritative and best reference books on DBMS. Our aim is to prepare an individual for competitive exams like NTS | GAT | ECAT | Data Warehouse jobs | Data Mining | DB administration jobs | Nadra Jobs | Software House and Data Base and Web Developer jobs | University and College entrance exams and various tests and job interviews. One should practice our Mcqs to assimilate knowledge on Relational Algebra comprehensively.

1.
In unary relational operations, SELECT operation is partition of relation usually classified as

Horizontal partition

Vertical partition

Insert partition

Delete partition

2.
If in JOIN operation, conditions of JOIN operation are not satisfied then results of operation is

Zero tuples and empty relation

One tuple from one relation

Zero tuples from two relation

Two tuples from empty relations

3.
Because of calculus expression, relational calculus is considered as

Procedural language

Non procedural language

Structural language

Functional language

4.
DIVISION operation can be applied to two relations A and B such as R(A) ÷ R(B) where as

A does not belong to B

A must be added to B

A belongs or equal to B

A must be subtracted from B

5.

12.
Operation which is used to take union of tuples from relations that are not union compatible is classified as

FULL UNION operation

JOIN UNION operation

OUTER UNION operation

INNER UNION operation

13.
If matching tuples are not found, kind of OUTER JOIN operation which keeps all tuples of first and second relation is classified as
