Hi,

while reading about databases, I didn't understand what can be subset of attributes, see the following :

Let Ri (Xi) be a relation sheme, where Xi is a set of attributes. and if t is a tuple for Ri (Xi) and Y is a subset of Xi, then t[Y] denote the subtuple of t corresponding to Y.

does a subset of attributes just means the instances that exist in each tuple?

this question really has nothing to do with postgresql, except in the most theoretical sense. perhaps you should find a forum or list that deals with abstract database theory.
