β¦ Synopsis
The need to incorporate and treat information given in fuzzy terms in Relational Databases has concentrated a great effort in the last years. This article focuses on the treatment of functional dependencies (f.d.1 between attributes of a relation scheme. We review other approaches to this problem and present some of its missfunctions concerning intuitive properties a fuzzy extension of f.d. should verify. Then we introduce a fuzzy extension of this concept to overcome the previous anomalous behaviors and study its properties. Of primary interest is the completeness of our fuzzy version of Armstrong axioms in order to derive all the fuzzy functional dependencies logically implied by a set of f.f.d. just using these axioms.

Based on the semantic equivalence degree the formal definitions of fuzzy functional dependencies (FFDs) and fuzzy multivalued dependencies (FMVDs) are first introduced to the fuzzy relational databases, where fuzziness of data appears in attribute values in the form of possibility attributions, as w
## Γn a previous paper, we presented an approach to calculate relational division in fuzzy databases, starting with the GEFRED model. This work centered on dealing with fuzzy attributes and fuzzy values and only the universal quantifier was taken into account since it is the inherent quantifier in
This paper concerns the modeling of imprecision, vagueness, and uncertainty in databases through an extension of the relational model of data: the fuzzy rough relational database, an approach which uses both fuzzy set and rough set theories for knowledge representation of imprecise data in a relatio
There have been significant theoretical advances in fuzzy database technology, yet commercially is successes have been negligible. This article examines the current state of this technology and suggests directions for future efforts. A framework for the analysis offuzzy database technology is propos
