- (5 pts) Prove the soundness of the psuedotransitivity
rule using Armstrong's axioms.
- The following questions all refer to a relation scheme R =
(A, B, C, D, E, G) and set of functional dependencies F =
.
- (3 pts) Find in F.
- (10 pts) Find a candidate key for relations on scheme R, and show
that your answer is a candidate key. (Hint: first show that your answer is
a superkey, and then show that removing any attribute from your answer
results in an attribute set that is no longer a superkey.)
- (10 pts) Find F , a canonical cover of F.
