i have a question regarding the resulting table/relation from a union operation in relational algebra... Does the resulting relation not have a primery key?, or does it eturn a table with a hidden primary key? Example: Suppose we take the union of the following two tables:
R1:
id | name
----------
1 a
2 b
3 c
R2:
id | name
----------
1 b
2 c
3 d
Where the attribute "id" is primary key in both relation R1 and R2, now the union of those two will be:
id | name
------------
1 a
1 b
2 b
2 c
3 c
3 d
Now none of the attributes in the resulting relation can be primary key since both id and name contain duplicates... How is this resolved by the DBMS? thanks.
