Given a set of functional dependencies , an Armstrong relation is a relation which satisfies all the functional dependencies in the closure + and only those dependencies. . Unfortunately, the minimum-size Armstrong relation for a given set of dependencies can have a size which is an exponential function of the number of attributes in the dependencies conside
