Chapter 7, Problem 32E

a.

Explanation of Solution

Nontrivial functional dependency

  • The functional dependency CD → AB can also be written as follows:

  CD → A

  CD → B

  • Now, CD+ = {C D A B C E}
  • Thus, CDcontains B without using the functional dependency, CD → B.
  • Thus, CD → B can be deleted...

b.

Explanation of Solution

BCNF decomposition algorithm

  • Here A → BC violates third normal form.
  • Hence R(ABCDE) can be decomposed i...

c.

Explanation of Solution

Loseless decomposition

  • The common attribute is A in relations R1(ABC) and R2(ADE)...

d.

Explanation of Solution

Dependency preserving decomposition

  • The functional dependencies of original relation R is BD → E and CD → AB...
