问题 单项选择题

在下列关系运算中,不改变关系表中的属性个数但能减少元组个数的是

A.并

B.交

C.投影

D.笛卡儿乘积

答案

参考答案:B

解析: 本题考杳数据库的关系运算。两个关系的并运算是指将第一个关系的元组加到第二个关系中,生成新的关系。因此,并运算不改变关系表中的属性个数,也不能减少元组个数。 两个关系的交运算是包含同时出现在第一和第二个关系中的元组的新关系。因此,交运算不改变关系表中的属性个数,但能减少元组个数。投影是一元关系操作。投影操作选取关系的某些属性,这个操作是对一个关系进行垂直分割,消去某些属性,并重新安排属性的顺序,再删除重复的元组。因此,投影运算既可以减少关系表中的属性个数,也可以减少元组个数。 两个关系的笛卡儿乘积是指一个关系中的每个元组和第二个关系的每个元组连接。因此,笛卡儿乘积运算能够增加元组属性的个数。 经过上述分析可知,在上述四种运算中,交运算不改变关系表中的属性个数但能减少元组个数。因此,正确答案是选项B。

A Chilean(智利) soap-opera star, a beauty from Ancient Pompeii and a freckled (雀斑的)boyish girl hardly make an average beauty show line-up.

The first world-wide digital beauty contest to the surprise of many online fans was won by a woman who is virtually(虚拟) real flesh and bones. “Virtual models are not the anti-real, they are a different representation of reality,” said Franz Cerami, the organiser of Miss Digital World (数字世界小姐).

Each of the contestants had to provide the charming photo of high degrees, with date of birth and body measurements.

Chilean Rodolfo Perez Ayala decided that no figure of his imagination could beat the beauty of his wife, Katty Kowaleczko, so he hired artist Flavio Parra to recreate her. Kowaleczko, who plays Paula Sandoval in the popular Latin American soap opera Tentacion, was transformed into Katty-ko and won the digital contest with more than 17,000 online votes.

“I’m so happy Katty-ko won. I think her strength is her similarity to a real woman-not too luxurious or exposed”, Kowaleczko, 40, told reporters. “Her beauty is in her simplicity.” Kowaleczko was not afraid of being replaced by her 3D clone in movies or theatres, but hoped she would become “a sort of ambassador(使者) of Chilean beauty”.

Cerami said Latin American interest in Miss Digital World had greatly increased since Katty-ko joined the contest, which attracted about 3600 entries from countries from Iran to Australia and even from the ancient Roman empire.

“Pompea” was the digital reconstruction of a young woman killed by the outbreak of Vesuvius in 79 AD. “She was a slave, but also a rich man’s lover. When her body was discovered, many jewels and a bangle(手镯) with the writing ‘from the master to his servant girl’ were found” said Genny Tortora, a professor at the University of Salerno who led Pompea’s creative team.

Other contestants included Kaya, the most realistic model with digital freckles, pouty (噘起的) lips and upturned nose.

Now, Cerami’s dream is to manage a form of virtual beauties, introducing them for calendars, games, ads, and movies. One is even reported to be heading for Playboy’s front page.
