Abstract

We propose and investigate the notion of separability to capture the design goal of independently updatable decompositions. As evidence in favor of separability as a natural concept of independence, we show that it is equivalent to a specialization of the abstract independent mappings defined by Bancilhon and Spyratos. We then characterize separable schemes in the important case when the only constraints given are a set of functional dependencies and the join dependency for the database scheme. This characterization is also applicable to dependency preserving database schemes when a set of functional dependencies is given as constraint. Our characterization yields a polynomial-time algorithm for testing separability in these cases.
