ITPEC IP April 2019 — Question 27 of 100

Selecting rows whose price is at least 100 yen is the relational operation called selection. Selection filters tuples, or rows, according to a condition while retaining the table's columns; here the condition is Price >= 100.

Answer (c)

Why not others:
- join combines related rows from two tables

- projection chooses particular columns rather than filtering rows

- union combines the rows of two union-compatible relations

Key rule: In relational algebra, selection filters rows and projection filters columns.
