Tuple Relational Calculus A nonprocedural query language,where each query is of the form {t|P(t)} It is the set of all tuples t such that predicate P is true for t ■t is a tuple variable t [A denotes the value of tuple t on attribute A f e r denotes that tuple t is in relation r P is a formula similar to that of the predicate calculus Database System Concepts-7th Edition 27.4 ©Silberscha乜，Korth and Sudarshan

Safety of Expressions It is possible to write tuple calculus expressions that generate infinite relations. For example,{ttr}results in an infinite relation if the domain of any attribute of relation ris infinite To guard against the problem,we restrict the set of allowable expressions to safe expressions. An expression {t P(t)}in the tuple relational calculus is safe if every component of t appears in one of the relations,tuples,or constants that appear in P NOTE:this is more than just a syntax condition. E.g.,{f|f [A]=5 v true is not safe---it defines an infinite set with attribute values that do not appear in any relation or tuples or constants in P.
