R = (ABCDEFGH, {BE ? GH, G ? FA, D ? C, F ? B})
(a) What is a key of R?
(b) What is the attribute closure of GH ?
(c) Can there be a key that does not contain D? If such a key exists, give it; otherwise explain why it is not possible.
(d) Is the schema in BCNF? Give the reason for your answer.
(e) Use one cycle of the BCNF synthesis algorithm to decompose R into two sub-relations. For each sub-relation, explain whether or not it is in BCNF.
(f) Give the general condition that guarantees that a decomposition is lossless. Apply the condition to your decomposition to show whether or not it is lossless.
(g) Give the general condition that guarantees that a decomposition is dependency preserv- ing. Apply the condition to your decomposition to show whether or not it is dependency preserving.
