Hello All,
I have spent countless hours searching the net to find the answer, but
am still confused. I have a db structure where I have decomposed a
table into three smaller tables, but when I join them all back
together, I get spurious tuples. Now I thought that the whole point of
fifth normal form was to allow you to successfully decompose a table
into smaller tables, then join them back together without spurious
results. Do I have the wrong idea about this, or if not, what am I
doing wrong? Thanks.
