Which of the following relational algebraic operations is not from set theory?

  • A.Union
  • B.Intersection
  • C.Cartesian Product
  • D.Select

Answer: D

Correct answer: Select

Union, intersection and Cartesian product are all operations of set theory, applied here to relations. Selection is peculiar to relational algebra: it picks the tuples that satisfy a predicate, which set theory has no notion of.
