Database management system dependency preserving decomposition. Bercesne novak agnes lossless dependency preserving 3nf decomposition algorithm the minimal cover f is given. Join decomposition and dependency preserving decomposition. Dependencypreserving decomposition the dependency preservation decomposition is another property of decomposed relational database schema d in which each functional dependency x y specified in f either appeared directly in one of the relation schemas r i in the decomposed d or could be inferred from the dependencies that appear in some r i. Remember that the solution for converting a relation into a higher normal form is to decompose the relation into two or more relations. The decomposition of r into a, b, b, c, b, d a gives a lossless join, and is dependency preserving b gives a lossless join, but is not dependency preserving. For dependency preserving decomposition, ab can be ensured in r1 ab and c d can be ensured in r2 cd.
So, in your example, both the relation schemas in the decomposition fulfill this definition. You can find it on any good book on databases, and it guarantees to preserve both the dependencies as well as the data lossless decomposition, while reducing redundancies and anomalies. Relation r is decomposed into two or more relations if decomposition is lossless join as well as dependency preserving. Each functional dependency specified in f either appears directly in one of the relations in the decomposition. Decomposition in dbms lossless lossy gate vidyalay. It is not necessary that all dependencies from the relation r appear in some relation ri. Dependency preserving decomposition with a functional. Why is a nondependency preserving bcnf decomposition. Lossless join and dependency preserving decomposition. The decomposition is based on the canonical cover or minimal cover in other books. Sanchit sir is taking live class daily on unacademy plus for complete syllabus of gate 2021 link for subscribing to the course.
Decomposition r1 a, b, r2 b, c r1 and r2 are in bcnf, losslessjoin decomposition, dependency preserving. Explain lossless join decomposition and dependency. This is central in removing redundancy safely from databases while preserving the. In this case a decomposition in 3nf is the following. There exist partial functional dependencies book title. Illustration on lossless join decomposition and dependency. The condition that a candidate key of the original. Search for dependencies in f having the same attribute set on the left hand side, y1, y2. No nonprime attribute depends on subset of candidate key, hence. If you like geeksforgeeks and would like to contribute. Better to decompose it directly into a dependency preserving decomposition. Discussion with example of nondependency preserving decomposition. In the example the dependencies are preserved as indicated by antc in the comments. It is possible that a lossless decomposition does not exhibit dependency preservation.
