Consider a relation examinee (regno, name, score), where regno is the primary key to score is a real number.

Write a relational algebra using $( \Pi, \sigma, \rho, \times)$ to find the list of names which appear more than once in examinee.

1) ρ (exm1,examinee) , ρ(exm2,examinee)

Πexm1.name(emx1 × exm2)
σ((emp1.regn0 !=emp2.regn0) and (emp1.name =emp2.name))

2)  select regno from examinee
where score > (select avg(score) from examinee);

3)select centr_code from appears
where regno IN (SELECT regno from examinee where score>80);

Those who are looking a query 1 with a :O face, the conditions are written for cross product beneath the 'X' symbol that is not a separate line. Also please someone confirms if 'σ" is needed there while writing conditions, I don't think so that it was needed.

Instead of the cross product, we can use condition join with same conditions.

IN clause in oracle has a limit of maximum 1000 values that can be compared at a time.

In that case, query using natural join can help

1) $\Pi_{name}\left ( \sigma _{count(cnt)>1}\left ( _{name}g_{count(regno)\ as \ cnt}\left ( examinee \right ) \right ) \right )$

2) $SELECT_{regno}FROM\;examinee\; HAVING\;(score>avg(score))$

$\Pi _{regno}\left ( \sigma _{score>avg(score)}\left ( examinee \right ) \right )$

3) $SELECT_{centr\_code}FROM\;examinee\;join\;appears WHERE\;(score>80)$

$\Pi _{center\_code}\left ( \sigma _{score>80}\left ( examinee\Join appears \right ) \right )$

you shouldn't use aggregate functions in where clause

you are right @Yashaswini. I accept it. I am changing it. and for other readers' concern in case you don't kno, i am just stating here that, "aggregate function can not be used with WHERE clause where it is a main query, let say outer query. We should use HAVING clause for it. but an interesting rule is, aggregate function can be used with WHERE clause if this WHERE belong to the sub-query or nested-query."

Having can't be used without group by, this way in the second query.
