Question 59
Consider the following dependencies and the BOOK table in a relational database design. Determine the normal form of the given relation.
ISBN → Title
ISBN → Publisher
Publisher → Address
A
First Normal Form
B
Second Normal Form
C
Third Normal Form
D
BCNF
Question 59 Explanation: 
→All attributes in the given functional dependencies are atomic values So it is FIrst normal form.
→In order to check whether it is in Second normal form or not,fist we need to find the candidate key.
→After finding closure of attribute of ISBN from the above dependencies,the candidate key is ISBN.
→A relation is in 2NF if it is in 1NF and every non-prime attribute of the relation is dependent on the whole of every candidate key.
→The given dependencies satisfies second normal form rules as as non prime attribute of the relation is dependent on the whole of every candidate key.
→So the above dependencies are in Second normal form.
