Object-oriented database systems (ooDBMSs) are supposed to offer at least the functionality available in commercial relational DBMSs of today. One important consequence of this is...
We study functional and multivalued dependencies over SQL tables with NOT NULL constraints. Under a no-information interpretation of null values we develop tools for reasoning. We...
Eight years ago, functional dependencies, a concept from the theory of relational databases, were proposed as a mechanism for avoiding common problems with multiple parameter type...
Multi-valued dependencies (MVDs) are an important class of constraints that is fundamental for relational database design. Although modern applications increasingly require the su...
We present a multi-dimensional database model, which we believe can serve as a conceptual model for On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP)-based applications. Apart from providing t...
