BCNF (Boyce Codd Normal Form) is the advanced version of 3NF. A table is in BCNF if every functional dependency X->Y, X is the super key of the table. For BCNF, the table should be in 3NF, and for every FD. LHS is super key.ExampleConsider a relation R with attributes ... Read More

The Turing Machine (TM) is the machine level equivalent to a digital computer.It was suggested by the mathematician Turing in the year 1930 and has become the most widely used model of computation in computability and complexity theory.The model consists of an input and output. The input is given in ... Read More

DFA is the short form for the deterministic finite automata and NFA is for the Non-deterministic finite automata. Now, let us understand in detail about these two finite automata.DFAA Deterministic Finite automata is a five-tuple automata. Following is the definition of DFA −M=(Q, Σ, δ, q0, F)Where, Q : Finite ... Read More

Data Abstraction is a process of hiding unwanted or irrelevant details from the end user. It provides a different view and helps in achieving data independence which is used to enhance the security of data.The database systems consist of complicated data structures and relations.

Library functions are built-in functions that are grouped together and placed in a common location called library. Each function here performs a specific operation. We can use this library functions to get the pre-defined output. All C standard library functions are declared by using many header files. These library functions ... Read More
