I have always treated GROUP BY and SELECT DISTINCT as providing the

What is SQL's SELECT but projection?
The select list is a combination of project and extend.
The from clause is cartesian product and/or join and/or union (outer join).
THe where clause is restrict.
The group by clause is a curious sort of project that's required for
aggregation.
The having clause is restrict again.
