Functional Dependency

What is Functional Dependency?

Functional Dependency (FD) is a constraint that determines the relation of one attribute to
another attribute in a Database Management System (DBMS). Functional Dependency helps
to maintain the quality of data in the database. It plays a vital role to find the difference
between good and bad database design.

A functional dependency is denoted by an arrow “→”. The functional dependency of X on Y

is represented by X → Y. Let’s understand Functional Dependency in DBMS with example.
