prime attributes are the attributes of a candidate key which will give uniqueness.
a candidate key is (the subset of superkey) which gives uniqueness.
Super key is the maximum set of attributes that can provide uniqueness
example
ABCDE is a super key
AB CD DE are the candidate keys s.t. AB is the primary key. CD and DE are the secondary/alternate keys.
Prime attribute are part of any candidate key. Non-prime attribute are not part of any candidate key.
Values of columns
It is an attribute that does not occur in some candidate key.
In DBMS the data is stored in the form of table . Each row in DBMS is known as tuple.
DBMS stands for database management system. DBMS reduce data redundancy as it checks if the data is duplicate and if duplicate then store it as a single record.
Prime attribute are part of any candidate key. Non-prime attribute are not part of any candidate key.
Complex Attribute: A complex attribute is an attribute that is both composite and multivalued.
Values of columns
Surrogate ID's
database simple attritbute
In DBMS a table contains one or more columns there columns are the attribute in DBMS FOR EXAMPLE---say you have a table named "employee information"which have the following columns ID,NAME,ADDRESS THEN id ,name address are the attributes of employee..................
It is the number of attribute of its relation schema. Its is an association among two or more entities..
It is an attribute that does not occur in some candidate key.
A relation violates third normal form (3NF) if it has a transitive dependency where a non-prime attribute depends on another non-prime attribute (which itself is not a candidate key). This means that a non-prime attribute is functionally dependent on another non-prime attribute rather than on a candidate key.
In database technology, domain refers to the description of an attribute's allowed values. The physical description is a set of values the attribute can have, and the semantic, or logical, description is the meaning of the attribute.
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
In a database management system (DBMS), an attribute may describe a component of the database, such as a table or a field, or may be used itself as another term for a field. Commonly we can say that an attribute is a "propety" of a database field or its a characteristic or facet of the data field..
