Functional Dependency Functional Dependency is the starting point for the process of normalization. Functional dependency exists when a relationship between two attributes allows you to uniquely determine the corresponding attribute’s value. If ‘X’ is known‚ and as a result you are able to uniquely identify ‘Y’‚ there is functional dependency. Combined with keys‚ normal forms are defined for relations. Examples Bear Number determines Student Name: BearNum ---> StuName Department Number
