Abstract
Introducing theory of images set, modifying two contrary definition of relation algebra in the literatures, a general definition of relation algebra division is proposed and described formally. A general algebra division algorithm based on imaging set theory and a general template of realizing division with select sentence in SQL are presented. Finally, divisions in factual occasions are validated with SQL Sever 2005.
