- Abstract
- Data dependencies are used in database schema design to enforce the correctness of a database as well as to reduce redundant data. These dependencies are usually determined from the semantics of the attributes and are then enforced upon the relations. Describes a bottom-up procedure for discovering multivalued dependencies in observed data without knowing a priori the relationships among the attributes. The proposed algorithm is an application of the technique designed for learning conditional independencies in probabilistic reasoning. A prototype system for automated database schema design has been implemented. Experiments were carried out to demonstrate both the effectiveness and efficiency of the method
