Week 6 (29 September 2016)

Rename and Times Operators and Tuple Concatenation

During this week you will write the following methods:

1. (Tuple.java):

   // This method combines two tuples into one and assigns a new schema to the 
   // result tuple; the method returns the new tuple
   // e.g. t1 = <"jones",20,200> and t2=<1,2,2.5>
   // then t1.concatenate(t2,attr,dom) will be <"jones",20,200,1,2,2.5&ht;
   // with schema attr = <A, R.B, R.C, S.B, S.C, D>
   // and dom = <VARCHAR,INTEGER,INTEGER,INTEGER,INTEGER,DECIMAL>
   public Tuple concatenate(Tuple t2, ArrayList<String> attrs, ArrayList<String> doms) {
     Construct new Tuple object, tup, with attrs and doms;
     for each component in the "this" tuple:
       add the component to tup; // look at how you cloned a tuple for how to do this step
     for each component in the Tuple t:
       add the component to tup; // look at how you cloned a tuple for how to do this step
     return tup;
   }
   

2. (Relation.java) Rename Operator:

   // The rename method takes as parameter an array list of new column names, cnames, 
   // and returns a new relation object that contains the same set of tuples, but with
   // new columns names. We can assume that the size of cnames is same as size of this.attributes
   public Relation rename(ArrayList<String> cnames) {
     Construct new empty attrs and doms array lists;
     Copy all column names from cnames into attrs and all domains from this.domains to doms;
     Construct new Relation object, rel.
     for each tuple in this.table:
       clone the tuple and add to rel.table;
     return rel;
   }
   

3. (Relation.java) Times Operator:

   // The times method returns the cartesian product of two relations.
   // As an example, let R and S be the following two relations:
   // R(A:VARCHAR, B:INTEGER, C:INTEGER) and S(B:INTEGER, C:INTEGER, D:DECIMAL)
   // and let R contain the tuples {<jones",20,200>, <smith",30,300> and
   // let S contian the tuples {<1,2,2.5>, <100,200,3.86>}
   // The R times S would have the schema 
   // R_TIMES_S(A:VARCHAR, R.B:INTEGER, R.C:INTEGER, S.B:INTEGER, S.C:INTEGER, D:DECIMAL)
   // and the tuples: {<jones",20,200,1,2,2.5>, <jones",20,200,100,200,3.86>,
   //                  <smith",30,300,1,2,2.5>, <smith",30,300,100,200,3.86>}
   // Notice the tuples in the output are formed by combining tuples in the
   // input relations in all possible ways, maintaining the order of columns
   public Relation times(Relation r2) {
     Construct new empty attrs and doms array lists;
     Copy all column names from this.attributes to attrs, renaming any attribute that
        also appears in r2.attributes; copy corresponding this.domains value to doms;
     Copy all column names from r2.attributes to attrs, renaming any attribute that
        also appears in this.attributes; copy corresponding r2.domains value to doms;
     Construct new Relation object, rel; 
     Using nested for-loops, get tuple t1 from this.table and t2 from r2.table and
       concatenate t1 and t2 using the method written earlier; Add the concatenated tuple to rel;
     return rel;
   }
   

Download the Driver Programs and implement all the methods in this assignment. Compile and run the driver programs. You should see the following output when you run Driver.java:
