1 1 vote For relation R=(L, M, N, O, P), the following dependencies hold: M→O, NO→P, P→Land L→MN R is decomposed into R1 = (L, M, N, P) and R2 = (M, O).What is the highest normal form satisfied by the above decomposition? My doubt is For R1 it is in 2NF and R2 it is in BCNF .But ,dependency preserving also violates .So whts the highest normal form ?

Best answer 1 1 vote Yes, Decomposition is BCNF because in relation R1, all attributes L,MN, and P are C.K. R2 is a binary relation hence it has to be BCNF Manu Thakur answered Jul 24, 2017 • selected Jul 30, 2017 by Vijay Thakur Manu Thakur comment Share Follow See all 3 Comments 3 3 Comments reply set2018 commented Jul 24, 2017 reply Follow flag see this https://gateoverflow.in/869/gate2002_16 0 0 replyShare Manu Thakur commented Jul 24, 2017 reply Follow flag It was my mistake, highest NF for decomposition is Lossless, no D.P and BCNF, as R1 and R2 both satisfy BCNF 0 0 replyShare set2018 commented Jul 24, 2017 reply Follow flag pls explain m not getting the bcnf concept for R1 table :( 0 0 replyShare Please log in or register to add a comment.
