Transitive dependencies occur when a determinant affects the values of more than one business object.

A functional dependency X->Y is transitive in R, if there exists an attribute Z in R, such that X-> Z, Z-> Y .
transitive dependency
Non-transitive dependency occurs in a database when a relationship between three or more attributes does not imply a direct relationship between all of them. Specifically, if attribute A is dependent on attribute B, and attribute B is dependent on attribute C, it does not necessarily mean that attribute A is dependent on attribute C. This type of dependency can complicate database normalization and design, as it can lead to redundancy and anomalies in data management. Understanding non-transitive dependencies is crucial for ensuring data integrity in relational databases.
Transitive Dependency
Data dependency in DBMS refers to the relationship between different data elements within a database. There are three main types: functional dependency (one attribute determines another), partial dependency (part of a composite key determines other attributes), and transitive dependency (dependency between non-key attributes). Understanding data dependencies is crucial for database normalization and maintaining data integrity.
Relations should not have transitive dependencies because they can lead to data anomalies, redundancy, and inconsistency. For example, consider a relation where we have attributes: StudentID, Course, and Instructor. If StudentID determines Course, and Course determines Instructor, then StudentID indirectly determines Instructor. This transitive dependency can cause issues such as update anomalies; if an instructor changes, we must update every record for that course, risking inconsistencies if some records are missed. To resolve this, we can normalize the relation to eliminate transitive dependencies, ensuring data integrity.
Transitive dependency in database normalization refers to a situation where a non-key attribute depends on another non-key attribute rather than directly depending on the primary key. This can lead to redundancy and anomalies during data manipulation. To eliminate transitive dependencies, a database is typically decomposed into multiple tables, ensuring that each non-key attribute is functionally dependent only on the primary key. This is a key consideration when moving a database schema into Third Normal Form (3NF).
The purpose of normalizing data in DBMS is to reduce the data redundancy and increase the consistency of data. a) Partial dependency: non-prime attribute ( field) depends on other non-prime attributes b) Functional dependency c) Transitive dependency
A partial dependency is a dependency where A is functionally dependant on B ( A → B), but there is some attribute on A that can be removed from A and yet the dependacy stills holds. For instance if the relation existed StaffNo, sName → branchNo Then you could say that for every StaffNo, sName there is only one value of branchNo, but since there is no relation between branchNo and staffNo the relation is only partial. In a transitive dependancy is where A → B and B → C, therefore A → C (provided that B → A, and C → A doesn't exist). In the relation staffNo → sName, position, salary, branchNo, bAddress branchNo → bAddress is a transitive dependacy because it exists on StaffNo via BranchNo. That is the difference.
