Syntax
These are some valid queries
σage > 25 and rank == weight(A)
σ (name.upper().startswith('J') and age>21 )(people)
Q ⋈ π a,b(A) ⋈ B
ρid➡i,name➡n(A) - π a,b(π a,b(A)) ∩ σage > 25 or rank = weight(A)
π a,b(π a,b(A))
ρid➡i,name➡n(π a,b(A))
A ⋈ B
Run from sources
To launch the application, run
./relational_gui.py
If it needs some dependencies: Qt5, Python 3.4 or greater, PyQt5
It can run on osx but bugreports about that will be rejected.
