Program Plan Intro

Functional dependency:

  • An association between two attributes or two set of attributes in a same relational database table which is having some constraints is known as functional dependency.
  • In a table, one attribute is functionally dependent on another attribute to take one value.
  • For example: Consider that if Column A uniquely identifies the Column B of the same table then it is represented as which means that “B” is functionally dependent on “A”.
    • Let assume that the student table contains the attributes such as “stud_id”, “stud_name” and “stud_age”. From this table, the “stud_id” attribute can uniquely identifies the “stud_name” attribute because the student can easily represent the student name associated with it.
    • Here, the attribute “stud_name” is functionally depend upon the attribute of “stud_id”.

Determinant:

  • In a database, determinant is a type of attribute which is used to determine the values assigned to other attributes located in the same row of a table.
  • In functional dependency between two attributes, the attribute on the left hand side is determinant and the attribute on the right hand side is determined.
  • For every value of the determinant there is one and only associated value called determined.
  • For example: If the “A” is the determinant and “B” is the determined then it is true that “A” functionally determines “B”. This can be represented as “ AB ”.
