A->B ,B->c then A->c would be transitive dependency... 1 1 replyShare MiNiPanda commented Jan 28, 2018 reply Follow flag @hs_yadav For transitive dependency, LHS should not be a CK or SK and RHS should not be a prime attribute. Here AC is the only CK. BC is neither CK nor SK. Prime attributes are {A,C}. E is not a prime attribute. So BC->E should be a transitive FD. Isn't it? 0 0 replyShare Please log in or register to add a comment.
