Week 9 Discussion – Relational Set Operators
25 Unread replies25 Replies
A relational database model allows database users to analyze data thoroughly. To accomplish this, advanced commands such as “union” and “intersect” may be used.
Describe a business scenario where a “union” relational set operator may be used to merge two similar data sets.
Analyze the analysis and data consistency advantages of using a “union” operator rather than simply merging two data sets into one result table, within the context of your business scenario.
Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts.

Hello Class,
We consider a scenario where a business wants to combine customer data from two different sources: an online store and a physical retail location. The physical retail store maintains a separate database with similar customer information but includes additional information like addresses and phone numbers. The online store carries a database with customer information such as names, email addresses, and purchase history. The “union” relational set operator combines these two related datasets. The union operator eliminates duplicate rows by combining the rows from two tables into a single result set. In this instance, it would enable the business to integrate customer information from the physical and online stores, building a comprehensive customer database with all available data (Radovanovic, D., 2019).
The “union” operator has several benefits for analysis and data consistency. First of all, it makes sure that the merged dataset doesn’t contain any duplicate entries. By removing duplicates, the company could avoid potential mistakes and inconsistencies if the data were combined without using the “union” operator. As a result, the dataset for analysis becomes more accurate and cleaner. Additionally, the “union” operator makes it simple to identify new clients from both sources (Radovanovic, D., 2019). The company can identify customers who have interacted with both the online and physical retail stores by comparing the combined dataset with the individual datasets from each. Understanding customer behavior, preferences, and cross-channel purchasing patterns can be done with the help of this information.
Comprehensive analysis of the customer data is made possible by the “union” operator. The combined dataset offers a comprehensive view of customer interactions across various channels, enabling the business to learn more about the preferences and behavior of its customers. This can all be aided by creating personalized marketing strategies, enhancing customer support, and improving product offerings. In integrating customer data, using the “union” operator to merge two comparable datasets offers analysis and data consistency benefits. It guarantees the removal of duplicates, enables customer identification across various sources, and facilitates thorough customer behavior analysis. These benefits help the business make more informed decisions and more precise insights. Rewrite this text for me, going into more detail about each point.
