We now consider combinations of attributes and the appearance of consistent values in other columns. We conclude that unique combination of values in columns A and B such as (a, b) is associated with a single value in column E, which in this example is ‘q’. In other words attributes (A, B) functionally determines attribute E and this is shown as fd4 in Figure 13.6. However, the reverse is not true, as we have already stated that attribute E does not functionally determine any other attribute in the relation. We complete the exam- ination of the relation shown in Figure 13.6 by considering all the remaining combinations of columns.
