The Nested List Normal Form is proposed as a syntactic normal form for semantically well-designed database schemata obtained from any arbitrary finite nesting of records and lists....
Discovery of functionaldependencies from relations has been identified as an important database analysis technique. In this paper, we present a new approach for finding functional...
The rich dependency structure found in the columns of real-world relational databases can be exploited to great advantage, but can also cause query optimizers--which usually assum...
