Hi all!
After taking my database design class at the university, I
decided to make a small program that would do what most of
written exams for such classes ask for - namely that would
implement normalization algorithms. Since my class only
covered upto BCNF in detail, I was lacking some algorithms
for higher order normal forms. After some exhausting
Internet surfing and bugging some people through email,
I'm left with only one pretty vital algorithm to account
for before I can really complete that program.
The algorithm I need is that mentioned in the subject,
i.e. the algorithm for finding multivalued dependency
projections on attribute subsets. I have searched the
Internet and all literature that I can get my hands on
for this and I didn't find it. If any of you kind souls out
there has that algorithm in some book or his lecture notes,
I'd appreciate it very much if you could post it or email
it to me. I intend to release the program as PD, and if
it means anything, you'll get a honorable mention in the
credits section, that's all that I can offer :-)
TIA,
