Hello all,
Here are some additional references if you are interested in digging
into relational algebra:
Fundamentals of Database Systems (4th or 5th Edition)
Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe
Addison Wesley
Chapter 2 of "The Theory of Relational Databases" by Dave Maier (out
of print, find it here: http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~maier/TheoryBook/
MAIER/C02.pdf )
Even thou James does not like it as much, the cow book is still a
very good reference:
Database Management Systems (3rd Edition is ubiquitous)
Raghu Ramakrishnan and Johannes Gehrke
McGraw Hill
And of course, Codd's paper, available here (requires ACM account):
http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=362384.362685
Cheers,
RJFM
