Abstract The relational Algebra division operator allows the representation of simple queries with the concept for everyone, and so it is constantly required for real applications. However, it is evident in this research project that the division does not meet the requirements of many current applications, especially when analyzing complex data such as images, audio, texts, fingerprinting, large graphs, among others. Analyzing the problem arises that the main limitation is the existence of comparisons intrinsic attributes to the relational division, which, by definition, are always performed by identity, as complex objects are to be compared for similarity. Today, there are proposals in the literature of relational operators supported the similarity of complex objects, however, no treats relational division. This project proposes to investigate and extend the relational Algebra division operator to better adapt it to the demands of current applications through support comparisons of values of attributes similarity. It is shown here that the division similarity is of course appropriate to answer several queries with a concept of candidate elements and requirements described in the project, involving complex data from real applications of high impact, with potential for example, to support agricultural production, search in digital libraries, quality control of production in industries, customer selection in companies, and even the identification of promising shares on stock exchanges. To validate the work, we propose a case study to support strategic decision making in agriculture, through the automatic identification of suitable municipalities for planting certain crops, based on remote sensing image analysis.
