Consider a relational table R that is in 3NF, but not in BCNF. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?

For a database relation R(a,b,c,d), where the domains a, b, c, d include only atomic values, only the following functional dependencies and those that can be inferred from them hold:

   a → c 
   b → d  

This relation is

Which normal form is considered adequate for normal relational database design?

Consider the schema R = (S T U V) and the dependencies S → T, T → U, U → V and V → S. Let R = (R1 and R2) be a decomposition such that R1 ∩ R2 ≠ ∅ . The decomposition is

Relation R with an associated set of functional dependencies, F, is decomposed into BCNF. The redundancy (arising out of functional dependencies) in the resulting set of relations is

For relation R = (L, M, N , O, P), the following dependencies hold:

   M → O NO → P P → L and L → MN 

R is decomposed into R₁ = (L, M, N , P) and R₂ = (M, O).

(a) Is the above decomposition a lossless-join decomposition? Explain.
(b) Is the above decomposition dependency-preserving? If not, list all the dependencies that are not preserved.
(c) What is the highest normal form satisfied by the above decomposition?

Consider the following functional dependencies in a database:

  Data_of_Birth → Age
  Age → Eligibility
  Name → Roll_number
  Roll_number → Name
  Course_number → Course_name
  Course_number → Instructor
  (Roll_number, Course_number) → Grade 

The relation (Roll_number, Name, Date_of_birth, Age) is:

The relation scheme Student Performance (name, courseNo, rollNo, grade) has the following functional dependencies:

   name, courseNo → grade
   rollNo, courseNo → grade
               name → rollNo
             rollNo → name 

The highest normal form of this relation scheme is

Which one of the following statements about normal forms is FALSE?

(a) Consider the relation scheme R(A, B, C) with the following functional dependencies:
A, B → C, C → A
Show that the scheme R is the Third Normal Form (3NF) but not in Boyce-Code Normal Form (BCNF).
(b) Determine the minimal keys of relation R.

A table has fields Fl, F2, F3, F4, F5 with the following functional dependencies 

 F1 → F3,  F2→ F4,  (F1.F2) → F5 

In terms of Normalization, this table is in

Let R (A, B, C, D, E, P, G) be a relational schema in which the following functional dependencies are known to hold:

AB → CD, DE → P, C → E, P → C and B → G.

Choose the correct alternatives (More than one may be correct).

Indicate which of the following statements are true: A relational database which is in 3NF may still have undesirable data redundancy because there may exist:

Which one of the following statements if FALSE?

Consider the following relational schemes for a library database:

Book(Title, Author, Catalog_ no, Publisher, Year, Price)
Collection (Title, Author, Catalog_no)

with in the following functional dependencies:

I. Title Author → Catalog_no
II. Catalog_no → Title Author Publisher Year
III. Publisher Title Year → Price

Assume {Author, Title} is the key for both schemes. Which of the following statements is true?

Which of the following is NOT a superkey in a relational schema with attributes V, W, X, Y, Z and primary key VY?

R(A,B,C,D) is a relation. Which of the following does not have a lossless join, dependency preserving BCNF decomposition?

Let the set of functional dependencies F = {QR → S, R → P, S → Q} hold on a relation schema X = (PQRS). X is not in BCNF. Suppose X is decomposed into two schemas Y and Z, where Y = (PR) and Z = (QRS).

Consider the two statements given below.

• I. Both Y and Z are in BCNF

II. Decomposition of X into Y and Z is dependency preserving and lossless

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Given the following two statements:

  
  S1: Every table with two single-valued 
      attributes is in 1NF, 2NF, 3NF and BCNF.

  S2: AB->C, D->E, E->C is a minimal cover 
      for the set of functional dependencies 
      AB->C, D->E, AB->E, E->C.

Which one of the following is CORRECT?
