Chapter 2, Problem 2.26RQ

Explanation of Solution

Meaning of the Equation:

The given expression is,

(D, E)->F

Explanation:

The meaning of the following equation is:

  • Given the value for both D and E simultaneously, represented as composite (D, E), user can determine the value of F.
  • If one of the values of D or E is not given, user cannot determine the value of F.
  • The Composite (D, E) is the determinant of F.
  • F is functionally dependent on the composite (D, E).
  • It is a composite key.

Example:

  • For a table Employee containing attributes ‘employee_id’, ‘employee_name’ and ‘employee_department’, it is observed that user can fill an online form asking to enter the ‘employee_name’ and  ‘employee_department’ simultaneously and the Database Management System (DBMS) searches the employee database and retrieves the information about employee id . 

Therefore, expression can be (employee_name, employee_department) -> (employee-id)...
