    Can i get help with relational Algebra?

    I want to start learning about SQL, and wants to understand a little Relational Algebra.

    I started with basic exercize, but dont know where to start.

    I got 3 relations:

    Ingredients(ingredients_id, iname, price)
    Recipe(recipe_id, rname, type, portions)
    Contains(recipe_id, ingredients_id, amount)

    And now i want to write the query or draw the query tree that will output the following:

    1. a list with ingredients and amount for Recipe "Meatballs"
    2. a list with all recipenames, for recipes that ONLY contains ingredients that costs less than 40
    3. Recipename for recipes that contains "Eggs" but not "Chilli"

    I hope u could help me, get started

    Looks like a homework to me. What have you tried so far?. These are fairly straight forward queries requiring you to join tables or tuples in your case.
