An approach for testing the primeness of attributes in relational schemas
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper there is proposed a method of partition the attributes of relation scheme in equivalence classes and in nonredundant equivalence classes. Several properties of these equivalence classes are proved. Their properties serve as the basis for an algorithm with a polynomial complexity, which determines the prime attributes of a database schema.

Storing and Maintaining Semistructured Data Efficiently in an Object-Relational Database
We propose to use object-relational database management systems to store and manage semi-structured data. ORA-SS (Object-Relationship-Attribute model for Semi-Structured data) [9] is used as the data model. It not only reflects the nested structure of semi-structured data, but also distinguishes between object classes and relationship types, and between attributes of object classes and attribut...
متن کاملTemporally Enhanced Database Design
The design of appropriate database schemas is critical to the effective use of database technology and the construction of effective information systems that exploit this technology. The temporal aspects of database schemas are often particularly complex and thus difficult and error-prone to design. This chapter focuses on the temporal aspects of database schemas. Its contributions are twofold....

متن کاملA Meta-Relational Approach for the Definition and Management of Hybrid Learning Objects
Electronic learning objects (LOs) are commonly conceived of as digital units of information used for teaching and learning. To facilitate their classification for pedagogical planning and retrieval purposes, LOs are complemented with metadata (e.g., the author). These metadata are usually restricted by a set of predetermined tags to which the classification schema must conform (e.g., IEEE LOM)....
متن کاملConverting a Legacy Database to Object-Oriented Database
We present an approach to transfer content of an existing conventional relational database to a corresponding existing object-oriented database. The major motivation is having organizations with two generations of information systems; the first is based on the relational model, and the second is based on the object-oriented model. This has several drawbacks. First, it is impossible to get unifi...
