Selection condition

Introduction

A selection condition is a truth statement about a tuple’s attribute values, such as AreaSize > 1000. For some tuples in Parcel, this statement will be true and for others it will be false. Tuple selection on the Parcel relation with this condition will result in a set of Parcel tuples for which the condition is true.
