Where are the function of selection and projection operation?
The Selection Operation is used to select a subset of the tuples (records) from a relation (file) that satisfy a selection condition.If we think of a relation as a table, the select operation select some of the Rows from the table while discarding other Rows. The Projection select certain column from the table and discarding the other columns.The result of the Projection operation can hence be visualized as a vertical partition of the relation into two relations, one has needed columns (attributes) & contain the result of the operations & the other contains in the discarded column.Binamani BoroGuwahati

Why does Greenland appear to be larger on a mercator projection than it does on a Robinson project?
The world is round, but maps are done on flat surfaces. To compensate for this, countries further from the equator get stretched. Greenland appears to be as big as all of Africa on a map like that, where in fact it is only about the size of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Alaska looks about half the size of the lower 48 states, but in reality it is much smaller. Watch for the lines of latitude and longitude to give a better idea of how big countries are in relation to each other.
