LOSSLESS JOIN DECOMPOSITION
Normalization is the process of minimizing redundancy and eliminating anomalies from a relation or a set of relations.
Decomposition of a relation is done when a relation is not in required normal form .
We can decompose a relation into two or more relations if decomposition is lossless join as well as dependency preserving.
Upto 3rd normal form both of these decomposition properties we need to preserve.
Given a relation R after decomposing R into R1 and R2 ,
If R1 join R2 =R ,then the decomposition is said to be lossless join decomposition .
If R1 join R2 is ⊃ R ,then the decomposition is said to be lossy decomposition .
