Get started for freeConsider this query: Retrieve the ssns of employees who work on at least those projects on which the employee with \(\operatorname{ss} N=123456789\) works. This may be stated \(\operatorname{as}(\text { FORALL } x)(\text { IF } P \text { THEN } Q),\) where \(\bullet\) \(x\) is a tuple variable that ranges over the PROJECT relation. \(\bullet\) \(P \equiv\) employee with \(\operatorname{ssN}=123456789\) works on project \(x\) \(\bullet\) \(Q \equiv\) employee e works on project \(x\) Express the query in tuple relational calculus, using the rules \(\bullet\) \((\forall x)(P(x)) \equiv \operatorname{NOT}(\exists x)(\operatorname{NOT}(P(x)))\) \(\bullet\) (IF \(P \text { THEN } Q) \equiv(\mathrm{NOT}(P) \text { OR } Q)\)
