A data dependency in computer science is a situation in which a program statement (instruction) refers to the data of a preceding statement. In compiler theory , the technique used to discover data dependencies among statements (or instructions) is called dependence analysis .
In compiler theory, dependence analysis produces execution-order constraints between statements/instructions. Broadly speaking, a statement S2 depends on S1 if S1 must be executed before S2. Broadly, there are two classes of dependencies--control dependencies and data dependencies.
Every non-trivial functional dependency begins with a superkey (a stricter form of 3NF) — Every non-trivial multivalued dependency begins with a superkey — Every join dependency has a superkey component [8] — Every join dependency has only superkey components — Every constraint is a consequence of domain constraints and key constraints
In software engineering, dependency injection is a programming technique in which an object or function receives other objects or functions that it requires, as opposed to creating them internally. Dependency injection aims to separate the concerns of constructing objects and using them, leading to loosely coupled programs.
Cubes contains a SQL query generator that translates the reporting queries into SQL statements. The query generator takes into account topology of the star or snowflake schema and executes only joins that are necessary to retrieve attributes required by the data analyst. The SQL backend uses SQLAlchemy Python toolkit to construct the queries.
A trivial multivalued dependency X Y is one where either Y is a subset of X, or X and Y together form the whole set of attributes of the relation. A functional dependency is a special case of multivalued dependency. In a functional dependency X → Y, every x determines exactly one y, never more than one.
A set S of functional dependencies is irreducible if the set has the following three properties: Each right set of a functional dependency of S contains only one attribute. Each left set of a functional dependency of S is irreducible. It means that reducing any one attribute from left set will change the content of S (S will lose some information).
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
