Synthesizing Third Normal Form Schemata that Minimize Integrity Maintenance and Update Overheads: Parameterizing 3NF by the Numbers of Minimal Keys and Functional Dependencies
Summary: Parameterizes 3NF schemata by the numbers of minimal keys and functional dependencies, tying integrity maintenance effort to schema design. Optimizes 3NF synthesis under these parameters to reduce update overheads; experiments show measurable gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
