Database - Database Design Using Normalization - Discussion

Determinant is any attritube that identifies any other attribute. So like this, a determinant can be or cannot be unique i.e. its not a compulsion for a determinant to contain atrribute (s) thet will uniquely identify each and every attribute in the entire table. But a candidate key is a key which is a set of attributes that uniquely identifies the rest of the the attributes and candidate key is a key that has the potential to become a primary key. So the reverse statement that "all candidate keys are determinants" is false because it reverses the BCNF and violates the definition of a candidate key.

Candidate keys are all keys that can be a primary key.

In BCNF only the chosen primary key(s) are determinants.

A relation is in BCNF is, and only if, every determinant is a candidate key.

Answer should be true!

All determinats must be the candidate keys!

What is determinant?
