Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does F+ represent?

  • All functional dependencies in F only
  • All functional dependencies derivable from F
  • Only trivial dependencies

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what you can deduce from F.

Question 2

True or False: A functional dependency A β†’ B is trivial if B is a subset of A.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what 'subset' means in this context.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given F = {X β†’ Y, Y β†’ Z}, compute the closure of {X, W} and explain each step involved.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Follow through each dependency and state why it was added.

Question 2

If the set A = {X, Y} and F = {X β†’ Z, Y β†’ Z}, what can be said about F+? Identify candidate keys based on your findings.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider which attributes fully determine the relation when assessing keys.
