Axioms, or rules of inference, provide a simpler technique for reasoning about functional dependencies.

- ANSWER✔✔True


If a relation r is legal under a set F of functional dependencies, we say that r satisfies F. -

ANSWER✔✔True


Some functional dependencies are said to be BLANK because they are satisfied by all relations. -

ANSWER✔✔trivial


It is always possible to decompose a relation into 3NF form that is both lossless join and dependency

preserving. - ANSWER✔✔True


If we wish to constrain ourselves to relations on schema R that satisfy a set F of functional dependencies,

we say that F BLANK on R. - ANSWER✔✔holds


In general, the goal of a relational database design is to generate a set of relation schemas that allows us

to store information without unnecessary redundancy and yet allows us to retrieve information easily. -

ANSWER✔✔True
