In relational database management, which of the following is/are property/properties of candidate key? P: Uniqueness Q: Irreducibility
Both P and Q
A candidate key has uniqueness: its values identify each tuple. It is also irreducible: no proper subset of its attributes remains a key. Minimality means that no attribute can be removed, not that the key has the smallest cardinality among all candidate keys; both stated properties are required.
Important Questions from Relational Model
Given the relational schema $R = (U,V,W, X, Y, Z)$ and the set of functional dependencies: $$\{U \rightarrow V, U \rightarrow W, WX \rightarrow Y, WX \rightarrow Z, V \rightarrow X\}$$ Which of the following functional dependencies can be derived from the above set?
- The ‘12 Rules for Relational Database’ were given by
- Which of the following statement(s) is/are FALSE in the context of Relational DBMS ?
I. Views in a database system are important because they help with access control by allowing users to see only a particular subset of the data in the database.
II. E-R diagrams are useful to logically model concepts.
III. An update anomaly is when it is not possible to store information unless some other, unrelated information is stored as well.
IV. SQL is a procedural language. - Let $R(A,B,C,D,E)$ be a relational schema with functional dependency set $F=\{A\rightarrow BC,\ CD\rightarrow E,\ E\rightarrow A\}$.
Which of the following statements is correct? Consider R (A,B,C,D,E) be relation with following dependencies:
C- >F, E- > A, EC- >D, A- >B. Which of the following is a key for R?
