Question 157 – Database-Management-System

→ A functional dependency is a constraint between two sets of attributes in a relation from a database. In other words, functional dependency is a constraint that describes the relationship between attributes in a relation.
→ An attribute is fully functional dependent on another attribute, if it is Functionally Dependent on that attribute and not on any of its proper subset.
For example, an attribute X is fully functional dependent on another attribute Y, if it is Functionally Dependent on X and not on any of the proper subset of Y.

Must satisfied conditions:
i) X is functionally dependent on Y and
ii) X is not functionally dependent on any subset of Y.
