支撑SQL和关系数据库的基础理论:数学领域的集合论逻辑学标准体系的谓词逻辑

理论篇

  • 什么是谓词?谓词是返回值为真值(true false unknown)的函数

    关系数据库里,每一个行数据可以看作是一个命题

  • 实体的阶层

    0阶实体(单行) -- 1阶谓词( = between and)

    1阶实体(行集合/表) -- 2阶谓词 (exists)

    2阶实体(表的集合) -- 3阶谓词 1970被毙掉,目前数据库均以二阶谓词为基准

  • 全称量化与存在量化

    • 全称量词:所有的\(x\)都满足条件\(P\)
    • 存在量词:存在(至少有一个)满足条件\(P\)的\(x\)
    • EXISTS谓词实现了存在量词(因此,可以根据德摩根律实现全称量化)

实践篇

查询表中不存在的数据

/* 查询表中“不”存在的数据 */
CREATE TABLE Meetings
(meeting CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
person CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (meeting, person)); INSERT INTO Meetings VALUES('第1次', '伊藤');
INSERT INTO Meetings VALUES('第1次', '水岛');
INSERT INTO Meetings VALUES('第1次', '坂东');
INSERT INTO Meetings VALUES('第2次', '伊藤');
INSERT INTO Meetings VALUES('第2次', '宫田');
INSERT INTO Meetings VALUES('第3次', '坂东');
INSERT INTO Meetings VALUES('第3次', '水岛');
INSERT INTO Meetings VALUES('第3次', '宫田');
-- 求所有人参加所有会的笛卡尔积
SELECT DISTINCT m1.meeting,m2.person FROM Meetings AS m1 CROSS JOIN Meetings AS m2;
-- 求出缺席者的SQL语句(1):存在量化的应用
SELECT DISTINCT m1.meeting,m2.person
FROM Meetings AS m1 CROSS JOIN Meetings AS m2
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Meetings AS m3 WHERE m1.meeting = m3.meeting AND m2.person = m3.person);
-- 求出缺席者的SQL语句(2):使用差集运算
SELECT m1.meeting,m2.person
FROM Meetings AS m1,Meetings AS m2
EXCEPT
SELECT meeting,person
FROM Meetings;

全称量词(1):习惯"肯定 \(\Leftrightarrow\) 双重否定"之间的转换

/* 全称量化(1):习惯“肯定<=>双重否定”之间的转换 */
CREATE TABLE TestScores
(student_id INTEGER,
subject VARCHAR(32) ,
score INTEGER,
PRIMARY KEY(student_id, subject)); INSERT INTO TestScores VALUES(100, '数学',100);
INSERT INTO TestScores VALUES(100, '语文',80);

-- 查出所有科目分数都在50分以上的学生
SELECT DISTINCT student_id FROM TestScores AS TS1
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM TestScores AS TS2 WHERE TS2.student_id
= TS1.student_id AND TS2.score < 50) -- 仅就本题而言,还可以使用min(score)>=50
-- 查找出数学分数>=80,语文分数>=50的学生
SELECT DISTINCT student_id FROM TestScores AS TS1
WHERE subject IN ('数学','语文') AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM TestScores AS TS2 WHERE TS2.student_id

WHEN subject = '语文' AND score < 50 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
GROUP BY student_id
HAVING COUNT(*) = 2; -- group by having 子句要求两门课程都要有成绩

全称量化(2):集合和谓词,哪个更强大?

/* 全称量化(2):集合VS谓词——哪个更强大? */
CREATE TABLE Projects
(project_id VARCHAR(32),
step_nbr INTEGER ,
status VARCHAR(32),
PRIMARY KEY(project_id, step_nbr)); INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('AA100', 0, '完成');
INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('AA100', 1, '等待');
INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('AA100', 2, '等待');
INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('B200', 0, '等待');
INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('B200', 1, '等待');
INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('CS300', 0, '完成');
INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('CS300', 1, '完成');
INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('CS300', 2, '等待');
INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('CS300', 3, '等待');
INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('DY400', 0, '完成');
INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('DY400', 1, '完成');
INSERT INTO Projects VALUES('DY400', 2, '完成');
-- 查询完成到了工程1的项目 having子句解法
SELECT product_id FROM Projects GROUP BY project_id HAVING COUNT(*) = SUM(CASE WHEN step_nbr <= AND status = '完成' THEN 1 WHEN step_nbr > 1 AND status = '等待' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END);
-- 查询完成到了工程1的项目 having子句解法 谓词解法
SELECT * FROM Projects P1 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT status from Projects P2 WHERE P1.project_id = P2.project_id AND status <> CASE WHEN step_nbr <= 1 THEN '完成' ELSE '等待' END);
-- 劣势:双重否定,不易理解;优势:性能好,只要有一个行满足条件,查询就会终止;包含的信息更全

对列进行量化:查询全是1的行

/* 对列进行量化:查询全是1的行 */
CREATE TABLE ArrayTbl
(keycol CHAR(1) PRIMARY KEY,
col1 INTEGER,
col2 INTEGER,
col3 INTEGER,
col4 INTEGER,
col5 INTEGER,
col6 INTEGER,
col7 INTEGER,
col8 INTEGER,
col9 INTEGER,
col10 INTEGER); --全为NULL
INSERT INTO ArrayTbl VALUES('A', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO ArrayTbl VALUES('B', 3, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
--全为1
INSERT INTO ArrayTbl VALUES('C', 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1);
--至少有一个9
INSERT INTO ArrayTbl VALUES('D', NULL, NULL, 9, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO ArrayTbl VALUES('E', NULL, 3, NULL, 1, 9, NULL, NULL, 9, NULL, NULL);
-- "列方向"的全称量化:查找全是1的行 不优雅的解答
SELECT * FROM ArrayTbl WHERE col1 = 1 AND col2 = 1 AND col3 = 1 AND col4 = 1 AND col5 = 1
AND col6 = 1 AND col7 = 1 AND col8 = 1 AND col9 = 1 AND col10 = 1; -- "列方向"的全称量化:查找全是1的行 优雅的解答
SELECT * FROM ArrayTbl WHERE 1 = ALL (values(col1),(col2),(col3),(col4),(col5),(col6),(col7),(col8),(col9),(col10)); -- "列方向"的全称量化:查找某一列是9的行
SELECT * FROM ArrayTbl WHERE 9 = ANY (values(col1),(col2),(col3),(col4),(col5),(col6),(col7),(col8),(col9),(col10)); -- "列方向"的全称量化:查找某一列是9的行
SELECT * FROM ArrayTbl WHERE 9 IN (col1,col2,col3,col4,col5,col6,col7,col8,col9,col10); -- 查找全是NULL的行
SELECT * FROM ArrayTbl WHERE COALESCE(col1,col2,col3,col4,col5,col6,col7,col8,col9,col10) IS NULL;

小结

  • SQL中的谓词指的是返回真值的函数
  • EXISTS与其他谓词不同,接受的参数是集合
  • 因此EXISTS可以看成一种高阶函数
  • SQL没有与全称量词相当的谓词,可以使用NOT EXISTS代替
