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)
