Question:

Consider a relation R with five attributes ABCDE.
1. For each of the following instances of R, state whether it violates (a) the FD BC → D and (b) the MVD BC →→ D:
(a) { } (i.e., empty relation)
(b) {(a,2,3,4,5), (2,a,3,5,5)}
(c) {(a,2,3,4,5), (2,a,3,5,5), (a,2,3,4,6)}
(d) {(a,2,3,4,5), (2,a,3,4,5), (a,2,3,6,5)}
(e) {(a,2,3,4,5), (2,a,3,7,5), (a,2,3,4,6)}
(f) {(a,2,3,4,5), (2,a,3,4,5), (a,2,3,6,5), (a,2,3,6,6)}
(g) {(a,2,3,4,5), (a,2,3,6,5), (a,2,3,6,6), (a,2,3,4,6)}
2. If each instance for R listed above is legal, what can you say about the FD A → B?
