- Introduction
Relational calculus is a formal query language where
we write one declarative expression to specify a
retrieval request.
A calculus expression specifies what is to be retrieved
rather than how to retrieve it. Therefore, relational
calculus is considered to be a nonprocedural
language.
There are two types of relational calculus:
Tuple relational calculus
Domain relational calculus.
