In order to implement a Database Management System (DBMS), there must exist a set of rules which state how the database system will behave. For instance, somewhere in the DBMS must be a set of statements which indicate than when someone inserts data into a row of a relation, it has the effect which the user expects. One way to specify this is to use words to write an `essay' as to how the DBMS will operate, but words tend to be imprecise and open to interpretation. Instead, relational databases are more usually defined using Relational Algebra. Relational Algebra is :
__1. The formal description of how a relational database operates
__2. An interface to the data stored in the database itself
__3. The mathematics which underpin SQL operations
Operators in relational algebra are not necessarily the same as SQL operators, even if they have the same name. For example, the SELECT statement exists in SQL, and also exists in relational algebra. These two uses of SELECT are not the same. The DBMS must take whatever SQL statements the user types in and translate them into relational algebra operations before applying them to the database.

I need to write a relational algebra query for the following:
Show the item_ID, item description and category description for all items

Category (code, description, tax_rate)

Use Relational Algebra to express the following queries on the schema FLIGHTS (DepartureCity, ArrivalCity). A pair of cities a, b is in an instance of relation FLIGHTS if there is a direct flight from city a to city b. The relation is always antireflexive: that is, there are no flights from a city to itself.
a) Cities with flights to all cities from which there is exactly one flight.
b) Cities with flights to exactly all cities from...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
