On Multivalued Dependencies in Fixed and Undetermined Universes
The implication of multivalued dependencies (MVDs) in relational databases has originally been defined in the context of some fixed finite universe. While axiomatisability and implication problem have been intensely studied with respect to this notion, almost no research has been devoted towards the alternative notion of implication in which the underlying universe of attributes is left undeter...
متن کاملOn the Implication of Multivalued Dependencies in Partial Database Relations
The implication of multivalued dependencies (MVDs) in relational databases has originally and independently been denned in the context of some fixed finite universe by Delobel, Fagin, and Zaniolo. Biskup observed that the original axiomatisation for MVD implication does not reflect the fact that the complementation rule is merely a means to achieve database normalisation. He proposed two altern...
متن کاملOn Inferences of Full Hierarchical Dependencies
Full hierarchical dependencies (FHDs) constitute a large class of relational dependencies. A relation exhibits an FHD precisely when it can be decomposed into at least two of its projections without loss of information. Therefore, FHDs generalise multivalued dependencies (MVDs) in which case the number of these projections is precisely two. The implication of FHDs has been defined in the contex...
متن کاملOn the Logical Implication of Multivalued Dependencies with Null Values
The implication of multivalued dependencies (MVDs) in relational databases has originally been defined in the context of some fixed finite universe (Fagin 1977, Zaniolo 1976). While axiomatisability, implication problem and many design problems have been intensely studied with respect to this notion, almost no research has been devoted towards the alternative notion of implication in which the ...
متن کاملAppropriate Reasoning about Data Dependencies in Fixed and Undetermined Universes
We study inference systems for the combined class of functional and full hierarchical dependencies in relational databases. Two notions of implication are considered: the original version in which the underlying set of attributes is fixed, and the alternative notion in which this set is left undetermined. The first main result establishes a finite axiomatisation in fixed universes which clarifi...
