Functional Dependency
The functional dependency is a relationship that exists between two attributes. It typically exists
between the primary key and non-key attribute within a table.
X → Y
The left side of FD is known as a determinant, the right side of the production is known as a dependent.
For example:
Here Emp_Id attribute can uniquely identify the Emp_Name attribute of employee table because if we
know the Emp_Id, we can tell that employee name associated with it.
Emp_Id → Emp_Name

DBMS Functional Dependency
Example:
Example:
ID → Name,
Name → DOB
The inference rule is a type of assertion. It can apply to a set of FD(functional dependency) to derive
other FD.
Using the inference rule, we can derive additional functional dependency from the initial set.

In the reflexive rule, if Y is a subset of X, then X determines Y.
If X ⊇ Y then X → Y
Example:
X = {a, b, c, d, e}
Y = {a, b, c}
If X → Y then XZ → YZ
Example:
In the transitive rule, if X determines Y and Y determine Z, then X must also determine Z.
If X → Y and Y → Z then X → Z
Union rule says, if X determines Y and X determines Z, then X must also determine Y and Z.
If X → Y and X → Z then X → YZ
Proof:
1. X → Y (given)
2. X → Z (given)
6
Decomposition rule is also known as project rule. It is the reverse of union rule.
This Rule says, if X determines Y and Z, then X determines Y and X determines Z separately.
If X → YZ then X → Y and X → Z
Proof:
1. X → YZ (given)
If X → Y and YZ → W then XZ → W
Proof:
1. X → Y (given)
2. WY → Z (given)
Normalization
Normalization is the process of organizing the data in the database.
Normalization is used to minimize the redundancy from a relation or set of relations. It is also used to
eliminate the undesirable characteristics like Insertion, Update and Deletion Anomalies.
Normalization divides the larger table into the smaller table and links them using relationship.
The normal form is used to reduce redundancy from the database table.

Types of Normal Forms
DBMS Normalization
2NF A relation will be in 2NF if it is in 1NF and all non-key attributes are fully functional. dependent
on the primary key.
4NF A relation will be in 4NF if it is in Boyce Codd normal form and has no multi-valued dependency.
5NF A relation is in 5NF if it is in 4NF and not contains any join dependency and joining should be
lossless. for more expression we well explain up to 5NF
It states that an attribute of a table cannot hold multiple values. It must hold only single-valued
attribute.
First normal form disallows the multi-valued attribute, composite attribute, and their combinations.

Example: Relation EMPLOYEE is not in 1NF because of multi-valued attribute EMP_PHONE.

The decomposition of the EMPLOYEE table into 1NF has been shown below:
In the second normal form, all non-key attributes are fully functional dependent on the primary key

Example: Let's assume, a school can store the data of teachers and the subjects they teach. In a school, a
teacher can teach more than one subject.
TEACHER table
25 cs 30
25 dbms 30
47 AI 47
83 COA 38
83 dbms2 38
In the given table, non-prime attribute TEACHER_AGE is dependent on TEACHER_ID which is a proper
subset of a candidate key. That's why it violates the rule for 2NF.
To convert the given table into 2NF, we decompose it into two tables:
TEACHER_DETAIL table:
TEACHER_ID TEACHER_AGE
25 30
47 35
83 38
TEACHER_SUBJECT table
TEACHER_ID COURSE
25 cs
25 dbms
42 AI
83 COA
83 dbms2

Third Normal Form (3NF)
A relation will be in 3NF if it is in 2NF and not contain any transitive partial dependency.
3NF is used to reduce the data duplication. It is also used to achieve the data integrity.
If there is no transitive dependency for non-prime attributes, then the relation must be in third normal
form.
A relation is in third normal form if it holds atleast one of the following conditions for every non-trivial
function dependency X → Y.
X is a super key.
Example:
Non-prime attributes: In the given table, all attributes except EMP_ID are non-prime.
Here, EMP_STATE & EMP_CITY dependent on EMP_ZIP and EMP_ZIP dependent on EMP_ID. The non-
prime attributes (EMP_STATE, EMP_CITY) transitively dependent on super key(EMP_ID). It violates the
rule of third normal form.
11
That's why we need to move the EMP_CITY and EMP_STATE to the new <EMPLOYEE_ZIP> table, with
EMP_ZIP as a Primary key.
