text: I guess I could post a proof on the article page, but wouldn't that obfuscate the article and be against the WP policies? --Citral 21:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Would be useful to add some context as to how MVDs rise.  For example, could an MVD rise from the physical implementation of a robust ERD?  
What kind of design omissions create the conditions for the presence of MVDs?  Can MVDs be eliminated by improving the design process and by avoiding use of flawed design languages?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lgreco (talk • contribs) 18:25, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Context 

message: So the example states:
there are two multivalued dependencies in this relation: {course} \twoheadrightarrow {book} and equivalently {course} \twoheadrightarrow {lecturer}.
Does that also imply:
{course} \twoheadrightarrow {book, lecturer}?
If so how would you state that last relation in words? --Fxer (talk) 04:11, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  That MVD is trivial, because it involves all atributes of the relation. Miparnisari (talk) 18:43, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Example expansion 

message: if we denote by (x,y,z) the tuple having values for α, β, R−α−β collectively equal to x, y, z, correspondingly, then whenever the tuples (a,b,c) and (a,d,e) exist in r, the tuples (a,b,e) and (a,d,c) should also exist in r. What Does should exist mean? Is it expected to exist or permitted to exist ? -Emakalam (talk) 20:57, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Clarification

message: What exacly is the reason when adding a new value to a field b when a ->> b, and another md a ->> c exists, and the values contained in the table for c can be described as set C, it's needed to add to the table b cross C, when I want to add a new value b? I currently learn a course in databases and couldn't understand the reason behind it. It also not explained in the textbook, or here. It just seems obvious.
