Comprehensive Approach to the Design of Relational Database Schemes

Summary: Hybrid relational-schema design fusing decomposition and synthesis to leverage both functional and multivalued dependencies. Separates structural design dependencies from non-structural integrity constraints with a simple syntactic filter and automatically corrects schemes to enforce desirable properties.
