The PROJECT command creates a new table with a specific subset of columns from an existing table.

The projection operator π is one of the unary operators in relational algebra (RA) and is used to project columns from a relation. It can select specific columns from a given relation and hide all the other columns.

It is known as vertical partitioning since it selects only those columns which matches particular query.

Project eliminates columns whereas Select eliminates rows.

The PROJECT operation is used to select a subset of the attributes of a relation by specifying the names of the required attributes.

For example, to get a list of all employees surnames and employee numbers:

PROJECT surname, empno(employee)

Project is a subset of fields displayed for specific reason.

Project does not exists in dbms, but it exists in relational algebra as a projection, it means that it selects all fields and all rows from the table.

Project selects the columns from the table or a relation. Columns are nothing but fields.
Table need not be a master table alone. So answer (E) is correct.

Projection means combining of two tables na? and here its not specified that in DBMS.
