The focus of this paper is the application of genetic concepts to database query optimization. Many decision support applications, such as task assignment, truck deliveries, and airline crew scheduling problems, usually need to get information from objects with a many-many relationship. However, ...
The diagram also shows the relationships between the tables. The lines connecting the tables indicate the type of relationship. In this case, the relationship from customers to orders is1-to-many(one customer can place many orders, but each order is for a single customer). Similarly, the...
