  1. Join Dependencies—Example Let r = A B C = A B || A C 1 a x 1 a 1 x 1 a y 1 b 1 y 1 b x 2 a 2 y 1 b y 2 b 2 a y 2 b y Observe: r = AB r ||AC r This always holds when we build r by joining relationship sets in this way. In general, however, if we arbitrarily create a relation, this may not happen. Add <2, a, x> to r, for example, then r AB r ||AC r because the join also yields <2, b, x>, which is not in r. Note: r is the cross product of B and C wrt A.

In general, however, if we arbitrarily create a relation, this may not happen. Add <2, a, x> to r, for example, then r AB r ||AC r because the join also yields <2, b, x>, which is not in r.

  9. Join Dependencies—Definitions • A join dependency (JD) denoted ||(R1, …, Rn) holds for a relation r(R) if r = R1r || … ||Rnr. (e.g., ||(AB, AC) in the previous example) • When n = 2, we call a JD a Multivalued Dependency (MVD) and write X Y or X Z or X Y | Z where X = R1  R2, Y = R1  R2, and Z = R2  R1. (e.g., A B or A C or A B | C) • Note: every FD is an MVD (e.g., if A  B in a relational schema ABC, then ||(AB, AC)).            

  10. B 4NF A C • Let R be a relation scheme and let D be a set of MVDs and FDs over R. R is in Fourth Normal Form (4NF) with respect to D if for every nontrivial MVD X Y  D+, X is a superkey of R. • An MVD is trivial if Y  X or XY = R. • Example: • R = ABC & D = {A B} = {A B|C} = {||(AB, AC)} • No FDs, thus the key is ABC • A B is nontrivial and A is not a superkey; thus ABC is not in 4NF • Decompose: AB, AC (both are in 4NF wrt D)        

R is in Fourth Normal Form (4NF) with respect to D if for every nontrivial MVD X Y  D+, X is a superkey of R. • An MVD is trivial if Y  X or XY = R. • Example: • R = ABC & D = {A  B, A  C} ~ {A B|C} = {||(AB, AC)} • The key is A • Both A  B and A  C are nontrivial FDs and nontrivial MVDs, but A is a key of R • Thus ABC is in 4NF    

  13. B 4NF A C • Let R be a relation scheme and let D be a set of MVDs and FDs over R. R is in Fourth Normal Form (4NF) with respect to D if for every nontrivial MVD X Y  D+, X is a superkey of R. • An MVD is trivial if Y  X or XY = R. • Example: • R = ABC • If a nontrivial MVD X Y holds for R and X is not a superkey, R is not in 4NFdecompose • Otherwise, R is in 4NFdon’t decompose Note that the real question here is whether an n-ary relationship set can be losslessly decomposed into two or more relationship sets.    

R is in Fourth Normal Form (4NF) with respect to D if for every nontrivial MVD X Y  D+, X is a superkey of R. • 4NF definition rewritten so that it can be generalized Let R be a relation scheme and let D be a set of MVDs and FDs over R (join dependencies over R, JDs over R). R is in Fourth Normal Form (4NF) with respect to D if for every nontrivial JD ||(R1, R2) such that R = R1R2, both R1 and R2 are superkeys of R. ||(XY, XZ)  

R is in Fifth Normal Form (5NF) with respect to D if for every nontrivial JD ||(R1, R2, R3) such that R = R1R2R3 every Ri is a superkey of R. • PJNF definition Let R be a relation scheme and let D be a set of JDs over R. R is in Project-Join Normal Form (PJNF) with respect to D if for every nontrivial JD ||(R1, …, Rn) such that R = R1…Rn every Ri is a superkey of R.

  19. Normalization into PJNF • Decompose wrt JDs • The only real question is whether an n-ary relationship set can be losslessly decomposed into two or more relationship sets. • If so, decompose • When all relationship sets are decomposed: • A database schema consisting of these relationship sets is in PJNF. • Based on the FDs, some of the schemas can be joined without introducing redundancy.
