Composite Object Normal Forms: Parameterizing Boyce-Codd Normal Form by the Number of Minimal Keys

Summary: Parameterizes BCNF by n, the number of minimal keys, revealing a trade-off between access variety and update complexity. Delivers a lossless, dependency-preserving 3NF decomposition that minimizes the maximum n across outputs and prunes redundant BCNF schemata; experiments quantify n's impact on update and query performance.
