What are projection and selection

0 votes

What is the difference between projection and selection? Is it:

  • Projection --> for selecting the columns of table; 
  • Selection ---> to select the rows of table?

So are projection and selection vertical and horizontal slicing respectively?

Projection means choosing which columns (or expressions) the query shall return.

Selection means which rows are to be returned.

I hope this helps you.
