Relational Algebra

• P(code, price, availability, description, ...)
• O(order_num, quantity, status, last_modified_date, payment_method, discount)
• I(code, order_num)

JOIN products with orders:

• J1 ← P ⟕P.code = I.code I
• J2 ← J1 ⟕I.order_num = O.order_num O

Calculate revenue from product for each order:

• FORMULA: order_total = Σ(P.price × O.quantity) × (1 - COALESCE(O.discount, 0) / 100)

• OR ← πcode, description, price, order_num, quantity, discount,

price × quantity × (1 - COALESCE(discount, 0) / 100) → order_revenue(J2)

• OR = order revenue

Calculate total number of orders the product has been in and total revenue:

• R ← γcode, description, price;

COUNT(DISTINCT order_num) → number_of_orders, Σ(order_revenue) → total_revenue (OR)

• For products that have never been ordered:
  • number_of_orders = 0
  • total_revenue = 0

Sort by order total:

• R_final ← τnumber_of_orders DESC, total_revenue DESC(R)
