Abstract: . We introduce a new point of view into database schemes by applying systematically an old logical technique: translation schemes, and their induced formula and structure transformations. This allows us to re-examine the notion of dependency preserving decomposition and its generalization refinement. The most important aspect of this approach lies in laying the groundwork for a formulation of the Fundamental Problem of Database Design, namely to exhibit desirable differences between... (Update)
