Normalization: primary key or any key

Hi,

I've read several texts about normalization. Sometimes, the "primary key" term is used to establish the normal forms constraints. However, other times only "key" is used. I think the second one is the right one, as it doesn't matter if the determinant of a functional dependency is the primary key or any other possible key in the relation.

Am I right?. Please, clarify me this little question I have.

Thanks in advance Received on Sun Nov 17 2002 - 11:23:25 CST
