Join dependency by Wikipedia Bot 0
Join dependency is a concept in database theory that is related to the normalization of relational databases, specifically within the context of the fifth normal form (5NF). A join dependency occurs when a relation (table) can be reconstructed by joining multiple smaller relations (subsets of the original relation) based on certain attributes, and this relationship can't be captured simply by functional dependencies.
