To perform the chase test, first decompose all FDs in F so each FD has a single attribute on the right hand side of the "arrow". (In this example, F remains unchanged because all of its FDs already have a single attribute on the right hand side: F = {A→B, B→C, CD→A}.)
An inner join (or join) requires each row in the two joined tables to have matching column values, and is a commonly used join operation in applications but should not be assumed to be the best choice in all situations. Inner join creates a new result table by combining column values of two tables (A and B) based upon the join-predicate.
Query by Example (QBE) is a database query language for relational databases. It was devised by Moshé M. Zloof at IBM Research during the mid-1970s, in parallel to the development of SQL . [ 1 ] It is the first graphical query language, using visual tables where the user would enter commands, example elements and conditions.
In database design, a lossless join decomposition is a decomposition of a relation into relations , such that a natural join of the two smaller relations yields back the original relation. This is central in removing redundancy safely from databases while preserving the original data. [ 1 ]
An illustration of properties of join algorithms. When performing a join between more than two relations on more than two attributes, binary join algorithms such as hash join operate over two relations at a time, and join them on all attributes in the join condition; worst-case optimal algorithms such as generic join operate on a single attribute at a time but join all the relations on this ...

Title Authors ----- ----- SQL Examples and Guide 4 The Joy of SQL 1 An Introduction to SQL 2 Pitfalls of SQL 1 Under the precondition that isbn is the only common column name of the two tables and that a column named title only exists in the Book table, one could re-write the query above in the following form:
Atomicity does not behave completely orthogonally with regard to the other ACID properties of transactions. For example, isolation relies on atomicity to roll back the enclosing transaction in the event of an isolation violation such as a deadlock; consistency also relies on atomicity to roll back the enclosing transaction in the event of a consistency violation by an illegal transaction.
