Abstract

This paper is concerned with redundancy detection and elimination in databases via the solution of a key equivalence problem. The approach is related to the hardening of soft databases method due to Cohen et al., [4]. Here, the problem is described in graph theoretic terms. An appropriate optimization model is drawn and solved indirectly. This approach is shown to be effective. Computational results on test databases are included.
