Membership Test

In the membership test, we check a given functional dependency is a member (set) of functional dependency set or not. 

 

Take an example to describe the method to check the membership test:

To check whether X → Y (FDs) is a member of the Functional Dependency set or not.

We check by closer that X → Y is present in the Functional Dependency set or not.

Let {A → B, B → C} ⊨ A → C that means A → C is present in this FDs {A → B, B → C}.

 

Another example:
