It provides GUI that can be used for executing relational queries, and also provides a command line interface.
Provides a standalone Python module that can be used for executing relational queries, parsing relational expressions and optimizing them.

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
If it needs some dependencies:
- Qt5
- Python 3.4 or greater
- PyQt5
- pyuic5 and pyrcc5
You will need to run
make
to generate some .py files.
To launch the application, run
./relational_gui.py
Running on osx
You can probably follow the instructions on running from sources to rut on osx.
