Generalized selection
In relational algebra, a generalized selection is a unary operation written as sigma_varphi(R) where varphi is a propositional formula that consists of atoms as allowed in the normal selection and the logical operators and (and), or (or) and lnot (negation). This selection selects all those tuples in R for which varphi holds.
