## Understanding Relational Calculus in DBMS: A Conceptual Foundation
2019

2120
Relational calculus is a fundamental concept in database management systems (DBMS) that provides a non-procedural way to query data. It allows users to specify what data they want without detailing how to retrieve it. This approach stands in contrast to SQL, which is a procedural language that outlines specific steps necessary to obtain the desired data. The foundations of relational calculus were laid by Edgar F. Codd, widely recognized as the father of the relational database model.

Predicates play a crucial role in forming relational calculus queries. A predicate is a logical statement that can be either true or false. In the context of relational calculus, predicates define the conditions that tuples must satisfy to be included in the result set.
