Functional Dependencies on Cyclic Database Schemes

Summary: fd-acyclicity: cyclic database schemes with FDs that behave like acyclic for join-consistency. contributions: simple characterization for restricted schemes; tableau-based general characterization yielding an algorithm to test fd-acyclicity and to decide query equivalence under FDs and typed inclusion dependencies.
