A relational database contains two tables Student and Performance as shown below:

$$\overset{\text{Table: student}}{\begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \text{Roll_no} & \text{Student_name}\\\hline 1 & \text{Amit} \\\hline 2 & \text{Priya} \\\hline 3 & \text{Vinit} \\\hline 4 & \text{Rohan} \\\hline 5 & \text{Smita} \\\hline \end{array}} \qquad\overset{\text{Table: Performance}}{\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline \text{Roll_no} & \text{Subject_code} & \text{Marks}\\\hline 1 & \text{A} & 86 \\\hline 1 & \text{B} & 95 \\\hline 1 & \text{C} & 90 \\\hline 2 & \text{A} & 89 \\\hline 2 & \text{C} & 92 \\\hline 3 & \text{C} & 80 \\\hline \end{array}}$$

The primary key of the Student table is Roll_no. For the performance table, the columns Roll_no. and Subject_code together form the primary key. Consider the SQL query given below:

SELECT S.Student_name, sum(P.Marks)
FROM Student S, Performance P
WHERE P.Marks >84
GROUP BY S.Student_name;

The number of rows returned by the above SQL query is ________

That is on natural join, here cross product is considered as join condition is not given.

But sir,..when written in ques is join and we find two table having same attribute (here is Roll no.) ..then we do natural join . If not,plz explain.

Group by Student_name $\implies$ number of distinct values of Student_name

in the instance of the relation all rows have distinct name then it should results $5$ tuples !

If let’s say I have two tables and they have same attribute name and can apply natural join but cross product is given, in that case do we still apply cross product? And For the natural join are they always going to mention explicitly?
best solution
In the link given question there is condition given so it is natural join. But in the given question we consider as cross product.

Hope you understand.
5 rows

Comma by default means cross product not natural join

@Manoj Kumar Pandey

even though there are common attributes it doesn't perform natural join !

Why not? I didn’t understand the concept.
For natural join it will be explicitly mentioned or we have to assume in case of same attribute name?
Remember this basic rule in sql

SELECT= PROJECTION

FROM= CROSS PRODUCT

WHERE= SELECT CONDITION

here in the given query we need to take cross product which returns 25 query with keeping in mind the condition to jave marks > 84 so when we group by our answer would be

Amit 452

Priya 452

Vinit 452

Roshan 452

Smita 452

So 5 tuples
was it 5 I don't remember exactly. But relation Algebra was 1

From where did you calculate ? Response sheet or answer key pushed ?
Good Ahbanc u will be in top २०० for sure if luck favour's u will be in top १०० , I am going down one by one , Silly mistakes of calculating combination,divide etc. ruined my exam 😑
Lets see, Even I don't know all the answers. Depends on the final answer key. Everything can change. Also, it seems this time top rankers will have very high marks so less chances it seems.
