Define the Canonical cover

Ans: A canonical cover Fc for F is a set of dependencies like F logically implies all dependencies in Fc, and Fc logically entails all dependencies in F. Fc must have the subsequent properties:

  • No functional dependency in Fc consists of extraneous attribute
  • Every left side of a functional dependency in Fc is unique. Which is, there are no two dependencies α1→ β1 and α2→β2 in Fc such that α1 = α2.

 Fc is minimal in certain sense - it does not consist of extraneous attributes, and it combines functional dependencies with similar left side. It is cheaper to test Fc than it is to test F itself.
