Database MCQ

1:

Consider the following set of functional dependencies on the schema (A, B, C)
A --> BC,
B —> C,
A —> B,
AB —> C
The cannonical cover for this set is

A.

A —> BC and B ---->C

B.

A ----> BC and AB —> C

C.

A —> BC and A —> B

D.

A —> B and B —> C

 

Answer : A

Explanation :

Sets of functional dependencies may have redundant dependencies that can be inferred from the other functional dependencies. A canonical cover of F is a “minimal” set of functional dependencies equivalent to F, having no redundant dependencies or redundant parts of dependencies.

As we can infer all FD's from option A , so A is right answer.
