Define functional and multivalued dependencies, Database Management System

Assignment Help:

Define functional and multivalued dependencies.      

Ans:  A functional dependency is a assets of the semantics of the attributes in a relation. The semantics point out how attributes relate to one another, and identify the functional dependencies between attributes. While a functional dependency is available, the dependency is fixed as a constraint among the attributes. Refer a relation with attributes A and B, in which attribute B is functionally dependent on attribute A. If we know the value of A and we inspect the relation that holds this dependency, we will find out just only one value of B in all of the tuples which have a given value of A, at any moment in time. Note though, that for a given value of B there may be various different values of A. 

Multivalued Dependencies:  A multivalued dependency is an outcome of two independent 1: N relationships A: B and A: C being mixed in similar relation R(A,B,C)
