It is well known that faithful (i.e. dependency preserving) decompositions of relational database schemas into Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF) do not always exist, depending on the set of functional dependencies given, and that the corresponding decision problem is NPhard. The only algorithm to guarantee both faithfulness and BCNF (if possible) proposed so far in [Os79] is a brute-force approach ...

We consider here scalar aggregation queries in databases that may violate a given set of functional dependencies. We define consistent answers to such queries to be greatest lowest/least upper bounds on the value of the scalar function across all (minimal) repairs of the database. We show how to compute such answers. We provide a complete characterization of the computational complexity of this...
