Abstract

The database auto-design is an important problem in database research. In this paper we propose some new ideas and an approach called “logic approach” to implement the database auto-design. Given a relational scheme and a set of the functional dependencies for the relation we can obtain all of the functional dependencies and key for the relation and determine the normal form the relation satisfies.
