Help - Relational Algebra expressions
#2
I've been banging my head against the wall, the table and the kitchen floor the whole day, and I need help.

Is there any alternative to using the select operator in order to filter out specific tuples that satisfy certain conditions?

Generally, if the conditions are given explicitly, select wouldn't be a problem, but I can't use it for cases where the conditions are implied/abstract (all names starting with "M" instead of Name="Mary", for example Actually that's a bad example since I imagine it's easily solvable with regex; so, say, all names which are longer than "John").

 Original problem

Problem is I don't know how to establish the "every" condition, and I can't perform a selection with the pizzas as conditions, since I don't know how many pizzas there are.
