relational algebra question - please help!

I need to write a relational algebra query for the following:

Show the item_ID, item description and category description for all items
where the supplier uses "rail" as the delivery_method .

The relations (tables) and attributes are as follows:

Item (item_ID, description, category, price, qty_on_hand)
Category (code, description, tax_rate)
Supplied_by (item_ID, supplier, date, delivery_method )

notes:
1. "Item" and "Supplied_b y" tables are linked by their primary keys.
2. The primary key for the "Category" table (code) is linked to the category
attribute of the "Item" table.

Any help with this would be highly appreciated.

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
