How many types of functional dependencies in DBMS?

Answer:
In DBMS there is three type of functional dependency
1 FULL FUNCTION DEPENDENCY.
2 PARTIALLY FUNCTION DEPENDENCY.
3 TRACIENT FUNCTION DEPENDENCY.


Functional Dependency can be classified as follows:

  • Full Functional dependency Indicates that if A and B are attributes(columns)of a table, B is fully functionally dependent on A if B is functionally dependent on A ,but not on any proper subset of A.

  • Partial Functional Dependency Indicates that if A and B are attributes of a table , B is partially dependent on A if there is some attribute that can be removed from A and yet the dependency still holds.

  • Transitive Functional Dependency: A condition where A , B and C are attributes of a table such that if A is functionally dependent on B and B is functionally dependent on C then C is Transitively dependent on A via B
