Chapter 7, Problem 33E

a.

Explanation of Solution

Candidate keys

  • A key is known as a candidate key when it has the ability to derive all the attributes from a relation...

b.

Explanation of Solution

Canonical cover for F

  • The steps for canonical conversion is to break the functional dependencies so that right hand side will have only one single attribute.
  • Then all the extra unnecessary functional dependencies are removed.
  • Then all the functional dependencies are combined.
  • Hence here the given functional dependencies include AB -> G, AB -> D ...

c.

Explanation of Solution

Remaining steps of algorithm

  • The given relation is in 1NF as there is no multivalued attribute or complex attribute.
  • The given relation is not in 2NF as there is partial functional dependency...

d.

Explanation of Solution

Final decomposition

  • Given functional dependencies are AB -> CD, ADE -> GDE, B -> GC, G -> DE.
  • Here ADE -> GDE have some trivial attributes.
  • So those attributes can be removed and hence the dependency is ADE -> G...
