What is the difference between Select and Project Operations

Question

I\'m referring to the basic relational algebra operators here.
As I see it, everything that can be done with project can be done with select.

I don\'t know if

Answer 1

Select Operation : This operation is used to select rows from a table (relation) that specifies a given logic, which is called as a predicate. The predicate is a user defined condition to select rows of user's choice.

Project Operation : If the user is interested in selecting the values of a few attributes, rather than selection all attributes of the Table (Relation), then one should go for PROJECT Operation.
