Functional Dependency Management

Functional dependency management involves organizing and maintaining how information in a database relates, ensuring that data is consistent and accurately connected. It defines rules where certain data values determine others—for example, knowing a person's ID number determines their name and address. Proper management helps prevent errors, reduces redundant data, and makes it easier to update information. By clearly establishing these relationships, organizations ensure their databases are reliable, efficient, and easy to maintain, supporting accurate decision-making and data integrity.
